| | Sovereignty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | De jure sovereignty is the legal right to do so; de facto sovereignty is the ability in fact to do so (which becomes of special concern upon the failure of the usual expectation that de jure and de facto sovereignty exist at the place and time of concern, and rest in the same organization). | | | In constitutional and international law, the concept of sovereignty also pertains to a government possessing full control over its own affairs within a territorial or geographical area or limit, and in certain context to various organs (such as courts of law) possessing legal jurisdiction in their own chief, rather than by mandate or under supervision. | | | Sovereignty is absolute, thus indivisible, but not without any limits: it exercises itself only in the public sphere, not in the private sphere; it is perpetual, because it doesn't expire with its holder (as auctoritas). |

| | Popular sovereignty in the territories is, and has always been, a privilege, not a right; and the privilege is to be exercised in strict conformity to the terms of the grant. | | | "Popular sovereignty" and common sense said, Yes; the very senate that passed the bill said, No; Chase's amendment, "under which the people of the territory, through their appropriate representatives, may, if they see fit, prohibit the existence of slavery therein," was rejected, March 2, by a vote of 36 to 10. | | | —In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska bill (see that title) again purported to enforce the popular sovereignty idea in the new territories, although slavery had been prohibited in both of them by the Missouri compromise of 1820. |

| | Sovereignty Past & Present |
| | Internal sovereignty refers to the state’s political and legal supremacy with respect to affairs within its nation-state territorial borders, while external sovereignty entails the state’s status as equal to and independent of other sovereign states expressed, for example, in its capacity to enter into economic agreements, military alliances, or treaties with other states. | | | Arguably, the precise locus of internal sovereignty is not always easy to determine: “The U.S. Constitution purports to vest sovereignty in itself, but that seems incompatible (a) with the fact that the constitution can be amended, (b) with the fact that, unless someone can enforce the constitution, it is without coercive power.”(Scruton 1984, p. | | | Early historical legitimation of sovereign authority invoked natural law, divine mandate or right, and hereditary succession, while in the contemporary period this authority is legitimated or justified by its derivation from a body of law or legal system, or formulas that refer to democratic conceptions of “the people” (or a combination thereof). |

| | “Popular sovereignty” was created so that the people in the state, or territory, that they lived in were given the power of popular vote to decide whether or not their region was to have slavery or not. | | | And on the other side there were the southern democrats who wanted slavery, popular sovereignty, and probably their own country down the line! | | | This issue divided the Democratic Party to northern and southern parties, demolished the Whigs, and caused other small political parties to spread across the country. |

| | It was only in defense of this localist, democratic model of the Constitution that a justification for party organization—as an organ of the Constitution itself—began to crystallize. | | | By such loose-constructionist governance, the vaunted sovereignty of Illinois and every other state would be drained of substance. | | | Well before the full ascendancy of that pluralist ideology,[40] however, the partyists had buried the Madisonian "Constitution against parties" and given birth to the shifting, contested, but, in that day, unparalleled constitutional authority of the mass political party. |
