Today, yes. There are only a handful of states that rest under dictatorial control (eg. North Korea and Cuba).

John Locke argued that government holds its authority only with the consent of the people. He believed that individuals have natural rights that should be protected, and that government exists to secure these rights through the consent of the governed.
The theory you're referring to is known as the Social Contract Theory. It posits that individuals consent, either explicitly or implicitly, to form governments to protect their rights and ensure mutual safety. In this framework, the legitimacy of government authority derives from the consent of the governed, meaning that rulers can only exercise power as long as they have the approval of the people. If the government fails to protect citizens' rights or acts against their interests, the social contract implies that the people have the right to withdraw their consent.
