Answer: Popular sovereignty

Popular sovereignty is the principle that states that the authority of the state comes from the consent of the people. In other words, it is the people who hold the power to govern themselves. In the United States, this is enshrined in the Constitution, and in practice, it is carried out when people elect their representatives in government.
