The Sovereign People

"The Sovereign People" refers to the concept that ultimate authority and power reside with the citizens of a nation, rather than with a king, government, or ruling elite. It emphasizes that the people are the true source of political legitimacy, and governmental authority derives from their consent. This idea underpins democratic systems, where citizens have the right to participate in decision-making, elect leaders, and influence laws, ensuring that sovereignty rests with the populace rather than a single ruler or an unelected body.
