Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Popular sovereignty is the principle that the authority of a state and its government are created and sustained by the consent of its people, through their elected representatives , who are the source of all political power. It is closely associated with social contract philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Popular sovereignty expresses a concept and does not necessarily reflect or describe a political reality .Benjamin Franklin expressed the concept when he wrote, "In free governments, the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns".

Earlier development of popular sovereignty arose from philosopher Francisco   and became the basis for Latin American independence.
