Popular sovereignty--the people ratify the constitution and then vote for government. The political ideas of the Enlightenment included the idea of direct representation and the change for the governed people to consent to their government. This means the government must answer to the people and be the voice of the people. If it is not then it will be replaced. In state governments where the constitution needed to be approved or ratified by the people popular sovereignty is being used.
