Is ours an 'illegitimate' government?

According to Jefferson and the American Declaration of Independence, governments "derive their just powers from the consent of the governed."

But according to Rasumssen, only 22% of the American people believe that the United States government has such consent.

Hmmm.....

FWIW, that "derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" thing is poppycock.¹

You, who defend everything the Founders ever wrote- no matter how outmoded, obsolete, and irrelevant to the current age- suggesting that one of them might actually have been wrong?!

The stars waiver in their courses!
