A representative form of government derives its mandate to govern from the consent of the people to be governed.

The governed peopel can withdraw, recall, or change their mandate by means

of regularly scheduled elections but if/when the government refuses to obey the mandate of the elctorate it is possible that revolution or civil war could occur when the people attempt to remove the no-longer-legitimate government by force.
