Popular sovereignty is the idea where-power of the government lies with the people.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In popular sovereignty, authority of state is created by the consent of the people. It is also known as squatter sovereignty. Popular sovereignty is subjected to the will of the people.

Here the government should exist with the sole purpose of benefiting the people and for their welfare and if the government is not doing it, it should be disbanded.
