Consent of the Governed: This principle means that government gets its authority from its citizens - like getting permission from your parents before going to a party.
Absolute Monarchy: This is a form of government where the monarch has absolute power among his or her people - like if your teacher had total control over every aspect of your school life, from what you learn to when you can go to the bathroom.
Political Philosophy: This is a branch of philosophy that studies questions about government, including the nature and justification of political authority - like debating whether it's fair for seniors to have more privileges than freshmen.
