Realism, as defined as the (Standford. Oxford dictionary of political philosophy) advocates, permits any means or practices be used, violent or otherwise be employed to achieve the end result of providing /fostering/securing peace, prosperity for the ruler's subjects.

Consent to be ruled by the sovereign is necessary if the subjects are to truly trust the sovereigns ability in providing seurement of their individual rights.
