It was, at last, recognition by the English, that the people of Ireland and Northern Ireland should decide โ by mutual consent and by peaceful political debate โ how the Irish should organize their governments. It was an important part of the Good Friday Agreement that, for the most part, put an end to the para-military conflict in Ireland called โThe Troubles.โ

It was a simple document recording agreement to a set of โjust and equal laws.โ The document also described a form of self governance that was an early version of the idea of consent of the governed. These details were hammered out after The Mayflower crossed the Atlantic Ocean.

On this day in 1620, the men aboard The Mayflower established a temporary government that became the model for governance of the 13 American colonies and the independent nation they would become. They signed the Mayflower Compact.

Remember when the First Amendment meant something?
If the Bill of Rights are no longer in force, then itโs just a matter of time before citizens are rounded up for opposing home-grown totalitarianism (tyranny).

The LAPD should give thanks that the People are peaceful. LAPD violence may be tolerated for only so long. #ConsentOfTheGoverned
Riot police ought to get on their knees and thank a higher power that populace chooses to remain peaceful. #ConsentOfTheGoverned
