"We live in a world, in the real world...that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time." ~ Trump adviser Stephen Miller

"'Iron laws of the world'? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

We are supposed to be governed by the consent of the governed, in a republic.

{...
The phrase "the consent of the governed" is a fundamental principle in political philosophy, emphasizing that a government's legitimacy is justified only when it is supported by the people it governs. This concept is notably articulated in the Declaration of Independence, stating that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Here are some notable quotes related to this principle:

• "For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery." — Calvin Coolidge.

• "The people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived." — Thomas Jefferson.

  These quotes reflect the historical and philosophical significance of the principle that government exists to secure the rights of the people and must be based on their consent.
