Governance by Consent

Governance by Consent refers to a system where the authority of leaders or policies is granted through the agreement and approval of the governed citizens. Instead of being imposed by force or without input, decisions are made with the participation of the people, ensuring they have a say in how they are governed. This principle is often fundamental to democratic systems, where electoral processes and public participation help ensure that the government reflects the will of the people, fostering legitimacy and accountability in leadership.
