Political Sovereignty

Political sovereignty refers to the ultimate authority of a state to govern itself without external interference. It establishes a framework within which laws are created, enforced, and respected by citizens. In the context of political obligation, it means that individuals have a duty to follow the laws and regulations set by their government, as long as the government operates within recognized moral and legal boundaries. This relationship between sovereignty and obligation raises questions about when it is justifiable to resist or disobey authority, especially if the government fails to uphold justice or protect individual rights.
