      A government derives its authority from the consent of the governed. The governed offer their consent as part of a social contract. The government’s role in that contract is to represent the will of the governed by enforcing the laws passed by our representatives.

      The reason it’s easy for us to expect them to remain and enforce the law, is because that’s what they promised us in exchange for following their laws and paying their taxes.
