    If you focus on the part of the declaration of Independence that says “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed” it kind of is true.

    But that’s a societal consent and not individual consent. Either we all reject it or they enforce it unilaterally on those that don’t anyway.
