Step-by-step explanation:

Sovereignty, in political theory, the ultimate overseer, or authority, in the decision-making process of the state and in the maintenance of order. ... Derived from the Latin superanus through the French souveraineté, the term was originally understood to mean the equivalent of supreme power.
