Allowing popular consent
Description
Allowing popular consent involves actively seeking and incorporating the approval and participation of the general population in decision-making processes. This strategy ensures legitimacy, transparency, and accountability in governance or organizational actions. By enabling public input and consent, it addresses issues of disenfranchisement, reduces resistance, and fosters social cohesion. Practical measures include referenda, public consultations, and participatory mechanisms, which collectively remedy alienation and enhance the effectiveness and acceptance of policies or initiatives.
Counter-claim
What's right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right.
