Detailed explanation-1: -Popular sovereignty can be defined as the doctrine that all people have a right to participate in government. This would mean that the power of government comes from “the consent of the governed.” Popular sovereignty was used in the French Revolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Popular sovereignty is government based on consent of the people. The government’s source of authority is the people, and its power is not legitimate if it disregards the will of the people.
