Kipto: Two weeks ago, the nation of Petlandia was invaded by the pirate king Longjohns and his band of thieves. When he arrived in the capitol last week, he faced no resistance. The Petlandian president and much of the army went into hiding. I say that if Petlandia’s leaders are gone, I suppose then that Longjohns can run the country as he wishes. Torko: I disagree. Longjohns wasn’t elected president, and the Petlandians have always had a democratically elected government. Therefore, his government does not enjoy the nation’s sovereignty. He is just a dictator. Kipto: But if you look in the street, there are no protests or demonstrations. People still get up in the morning, go to work, and then come home. There is no violence and no unrest. In other words, people have agreed to Longjohns as their new ruler. Torko: Not so. To be the legitimate leader, people have to give the leader explicit consent to be ruled. Kipto: You are overlooking an important fact. What is left of the old military has joined Longjohns. In fact, it has been enforcing a curfew for the last three nights. Today, the entire country is safe from external threats and internal instability. Torko: He controls only the capitol. But don’t you know that over 50% of Petlandia’s population lives outside the capitol?

Hello. This question is incomplete. the complete question is:

What assumption do both speakers seem to agree on?  

Only a democratically elected government can secure Basic Rights for its citizens.  

Individuals do not need to voice their support for a leader for that leader to be recognized as legitimate.  

The consent of a nation's people is the basis of sovereignty.  

Sovereignty depends on a government's control of all the nation's territory.

The consent of a nation's people is the basis of sovereignty.  

Explanation:

When reading the text above, we can see that the two speakers agree that the consent of the people of a nation has a strong influence on the established government. Although each speaker is defending a position in relation to the government of Petlandia, both agree that only the consent of the people is able to determine the sovereignty of the country, since that consent has the power to place and remove a sovereign from power, when well established.
