The principle of popular sovereignty; the people ratify the constitution and then vote for government was included in most state constitutions.

The United States was found on the principles of:

popular sovereignty
social contract theory

Both these principles called for citizens to be able to have the power and the right to elect a government and remove it if they felt it wasn't catering for their needs.
