Answer:

A) Power comes from the people

Step-by-step explanation:

Popular sovereignty is the idea of how the government rules with consent of the governed.

This belief means that all of the government's power is from the people, and that people are the only source of the government's power.

Under this idea, the people have a voice in government through voting and elections.
