What Constitutes "Consent of the Governed?"

"Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless or corrupt. And a citizen who barters with such a state shares in its corruption and lawlessness...There is only one sovereign remedy, namely, non-violent non-cooperation." - Mohandas Gandhi

– Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356
