Do we consent to government in Britain

Sample Solution

Consent to government in Britain

The phrase consent of the governed refers to the idea that a government`s legitimacy and moral right to use state power is only justified and lawful when consented to by the people or society over which that political power is exercised. This theory of consent is historically contrasted to the divine right of kings and had often been invoked against legitimacy of colonialism. People give implicit consent by accepting the laws and services of the government and nation of their birth. Must every person consent? Nowadays, of course, we would have to supplement Proudhon`s admirably precise account by noting that our being governed also entails our being electronically monitored, tracked by orbiting satellites, tased more or less at random, and invaded in our premises by police. No one in his right mind, save perhaps an incurable masochist, would voluntarily consent to be treated as governments actually treats their subjects.

The Secret Sheriff Of Sixth Grade Chapter Book/Upper Elementary Fiction
Sonnenblick, J. (2017). The Secret Sheriff Of Sixth Grade. Scholastic Press.
Sixth grade is not a good time for everybody; bad things can happen to good kids. Teachers will accuse you of doing things wrong, bullies will find your weaknesses and use them against you and the students who are the loudest and most disruptive can drown out the quiet, nice kids. But this year is Maverick Falconer’s year. He’s going to make a difference by helping those smaller than him (and those shorter if he can find anyone!) and he’s going to stand up to bullies. Maverick’s father died a hero on active military duty in Afghanistan when he was 3 and one of the last things his father left him was a toy sheriffs’ badge when he was little but being a hero is not as simple as carrying his badge. Now he likes to carry it to remind him of his dad and to remind him to make school a better place for everyone even if it’s hard to do. At school, it’s his arch nemesis Bowen Stack to deal with. At home it’s his Mom’s drinking and abusive boyfriends to worry about. A powerful story showing a young boy who just wants to make school and home a better place to be.
