- The principle of Popular Sovereignty asserts that the people are the source of any and all government power, and government can exist only with the consent of the governed. The overall meaning of popular sovereignty is that the National Government draws its power from the people of the United States and that the people have given their government the power that it has threw the constitution.
- Examples: The presidential election held every four years, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and Human Rights.
