Answer 1

Answer:

Option (D) is not the characteristics of the sovereignty.

Answer 2

D. Alienability is not the characteristic of sovereignty. The term alienability means being capable of being alienated.

Definition of Sovereignty:

• The term sovereignty means that there is an ultimate and supreme authority of the state that is responsible for policymaking.
• In a sovereign state, there is sovereignty in the form of one leader expressing his will through laws established for the functioning of the society.

Features of Sovereignty:

1. A. Permanence: Since the state is a permanent institution, the sovereign of the state automatically becomes permanent.
2. B. Exclusiveness: This means that there is only one exclusive sovereign in a sovereign state.
3. C. Indivisibility: The sovereign cannot be divided into two or more authorities as it would lead to the dissolution of a state into two parts. Therefore indivisibility of the sovereign is an important condition.

Hence, Option D. Alienability is not a characteristic of sovereignty.
