Which of the following represents the principle of consent of the governed?

  1. Judicial branch rules

  2. Legislative branch passes laws

  3. People elect the chief

  4. Executive branch enforces laws

The correct answer is: People elect the chief

The principle of consent of the governed is a political theory that states a government's legitimacy and moral right to govern is solely dependent on the consent of its people. In other words, the people must willingly give their permission for the government to rule over them. This concept is best represented by the choice C, where the people exercise their right to vote and elect their leaders. Option A, B, and D are incorrect as they all refer to specific actions or roles within a government, but do not directly involve the people giving their consent.
