Popular Sovereignty
The concept of popular sovereignty is a very easy one for us to understand. After all, it is what we have wanted our entire lives; we want to be able to control the government in all of its entirety. More precisely, popular sovereignty is the political doctrine that the government is created by the people and the people is where all of its power comes from. Since the people is where the power for the government comes from, it is supposed to serve the people.
Imagine that! Instead us serving the classes above us as well as the king, they would be serving us, the majority of the people! This idea was a brilliant one, and we already can see how the Americans have benefited from this idea of government. Now, each and every American has their own voice, and the government has no power over the people, since that is where its power originated!
