Question
the idea that government get its power from the people is commonly referred to as
divine right
consent of the governed/popular sovereignty
social contract
government authority
The concept of government deriving power from the people is known as "consent of the governed" or "popular sovereignty". "Divine right" is power from a deity, "social contract" is an agreement between people and government (not just about power source from people), and "government authority" is a general term for government's power, not the source. So the correct option is the one with "consent of the governed/popular sovereignty".
