It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

Explanation:

IN a monarch system, every laws and government actions that enacted in the country will be fully determined by the will of the sole leader (the king), and the position of the leader will be passed through hereditary method.

King of Mordor's claim that stated he represent the consent of the people is completely false. If that is the case, he should've provide a way for the people to either choose their own leader or the type of laws that should be passed through voting.
