No one is naturally a ruler; but, suggests the Declaration, someone could acquire the authority of a ruler if the people she or he is supposed to rule consent. But it would be hard to point to any existing state whose authority rests on the actual consent of the governed. Have you consented to the authority of the state in whose territory you live—and conveyed your consent to the authorities? Have your friends? Do you know anyone who’s done so?"
