A government wouldn't be legitimate if there is no consent of the governed and it can only be achieved through majority rule.

To have legitimacy in a government means that the government must have the majority of acceptance of authority from its citizens. Without this basic condition, a government collapses.

Democracy is an example of this because the government is legitimated from consent by the majority of the citizens.

In addition, there are four types of legitimate government: Communism, Constitutionalism, Democracy, Monarchy, and Fascism.

When he publicly told that he was against the confiscation of land that belonged to Native American Indians, the people from the colony rejected his ideas and Williams had to leave Massachusetts Bay Colony and with a group of supported he traveled to modern-day Rhode Island, where he founded the Baptist Church of Rhode Island. A place where religious tolerance allowed many forms of though.
