Nobody "owns" a government, just as nobody "owns" another person. Governments are simply groups of individuals - only they claim magical rights to do things that nobody else has any moral or legal right to do.

"The People" have no right to decide how individuals may act, so long as those individuals are not attempting to likewise restrict the actions of others. There is no right of "the People" to dictate behavior and there is no moral obligation for anyone to obey such edicts. The only obligation or right that anyone has in this regard is to refrain from initiating force against others and to defend oneself against such force. If they have not consented to be ruled, then they cannot rightfully be ruled, regardless of how many people claim otherwise.
