    C. Consent of the Citizens

    Explanation:

    "We the people" are the three important words of the US constitution. These words declare that the people are the source of power not a king or congress. It is based on the concept of popular sovereignty. Popular sovereignty is the belief that the government is created by the will of people and is a subject to it. Popular means representing the benefit of the people. USA is a sovereign state and administers its own government. It is not dependent on a monarch for its power.
