Question

1. Which principle governs the right to rule form the people?

Answer 1

Answer:

The right answer is C.

Explanation:

The real sovereign is not a monarch or a powerful autocrat as it used to be before the 19th century. The people is the sovereign, those who rule can do so only by the consent of those governed. That´s an idea formulated by the French philosopher Jean Jacques-Rousseau, a major thinker of  18th-century Enlightenment. The principle is enshrined in the US Constitution and in the constitutions of another democratic countries.
