This is more of a U.S. Government question but I need some help with it. I will award a medal and become a fan. :)

Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government. This will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures."—Article 21, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948

The founding fathers were wise. Consent of the governed refers to what the US government was designed to be, and what the founders made sure they would not become. To govern with consent means that a government has the authority to govern a nation so long as they made policy that best effects the wealth and happiness of the people. And when they do not, they are denied the privilege to govern. Consent is the ability to give a permission, and to take it away. Your answer is B.
