Explanation

Popular sovereignty is a fundamental principle of democracy that states that the power and authority of the state originate from the people. In a democratic system, citizens are the bearers of state power and exercise it through elections and political participation. This means that all state institutions and decisions must ultimately serve the interests and mandate of the people.
