This comes from the concept of the "Social Contract", first published by French philisopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the 18th century. He belonged to the same school of philosophy as Montesquieu, who gave most Western political systems such as that of the USA the principle of the three independent powers to rule a country: executive, legislative and judicial.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau held that all power is based on a social contract between a ruler and his subjects, wherein he is given the right to rule by the people in return for his undertaking to work only for the good of the people and maintain the highest standards of administrative conduct, impartiality, effectiveness etcetera. When a ruler does not fulfil his side of the deal, he loses - according to Rousseau - his right to rule. Which implies the right of the people to revolt if he does not step down voluntarily.
