Answer:

C) the authority of the government should be derived from the consent of the governed.

Explanation:

In both of these texts, the idea of consent is present. The authors tell us that the government can only rule in the ways that are indicated by the law. Moreover, the law emanates from the people. This means that only the people have true power, and the government has the right to govern only to the extent and in the ways that the people see fit. Therefore, the government exists thanks to the consent of the people.
