The idea that a government should be chosen by its citizens is often associated with democratic principles articulated by philosophers such as john Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Locke emphasized the importance of consent in governance, while Rousseau advocated for the concept of the "general will" representing the collective interests of the people. These ideas laid the foundation for modern democratic systems where citizens participate in electing their leaders.
