Centuries ago, people believed in "The Divine Right of Kings." This is the belief that the legitimacy of nothing the king does can be questioned. This belief was overthrown and replaced with the doctrine of "The Consent of the Governed," which means that nothing the king does is legitimate unless the people consent to it. It seems like "The Consent of the Governed" is the exact opposite of "The Divine Right of Kings," and many people believe that because their government proclaims "The Consent of the Governed" they are more free than ever before.
WRONG
Modern governments are without question more centralized and far more powerful than kings of old could have even dreamed.
