What right those who govern have to govern they don't question, they just govern. whether the people have a right to depose them that doesn't concern them. all they are concerned with is that the people will not be tempted to depose them.

I talk democracy to these men and women. i tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. i say to them you are supreme: exercise your power. they say, that's right: tell us what to do; and i tell them. i say exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me. and they do. that's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.
