Question

Describe the ways in which popular sovereignty is exercised directly and indirectly under the constitution

Answer 1

Popular sovereignty is composed by four structures:

The first is the fundamental idea of making the Constitution itself: the general population chose agents who made sure that a report speaking to everybody was made.

Second and third, the Constitution and its changes must be confirmed by a supermajority of the states, casted a ballot on again by the constituents.

Lastly, the very demonstration of casting a ballot itself is prominent sway: when individuals vote on the individuals who will speak to them in government and vote on their convictions about enactment, this is well known power at work.

Answer 2

The idea of popular sovereignty was used in the Constitution by the founding fathers as a fundamental principle of American government. That government is created by the consent of the people who give the state it's authority. The elected representatives chosen by the people, are the active arm of political action, but political power belongs to the people themselves.
