In our system, people do not grant authority to individuals acting on their behalf as individuals. A police chief has authority to issue a shoot order based on the authority given him as chief of police. And there are ramifications within the society should that authority be used recklessly.
Our system is predicated on the consent of governed granting authority and retaining the ability to change that moving forward. Those with authority can make individual decisions, but not in their capacity as individuals. It is complicated, but clearly spelled out by our framers.
