consent of the governed. consent of the governed in Culture. consent of the governed definition. A condition urged by many as a requirement for legitimate government: that the authority of a government should depend on the consent of the people, as expressed by votes in elections. (See Declaration of Independence, democracy, and John Locke.)
To consent is to give permission, which could have been withheld. It implies a power relationship where the consent is granted by the party with more power. There is the political theory that says, governments can rule only with the consent of the governed. That is, the people consent to be governed and thus grant their power to the government. To assent is to agree with a statement made by an equal. On the Supreme Court, one justice writes the opinion of the majority, to which other justices assent. Those that disagree are said to dissent, that is to disagree. So, consent = permission while assent = agreement.
