Sovereignty and Free Will

Sovereignty refers to the ultimate authority and power of a state or individual to govern themselves without external interference. It means having the final say over laws, policies, and decisions within a territory or personal life. Free will is the capacity to make choices independently, based on one's own preferences and reasoning, rather than being entirely determined by external forces or destiny. While sovereignty relates to who holds authority, free will concerns the person’s ability to choose among options. Both concepts explore different aspects of control—sovereignty at the societal or governmental level, and free will at the individual level.
