Popular sovereignty
Popular sovereignty
is the doctrine that
sovereignty
ultimately resides in the populace as a whole, rather than in a
monarch
, an
aristocracy
, or a
plutocracy
. The concept of popular sovereignty provides one of the theoretical underpinnings of
democracy
, whether that is
direct democracy
,
representative democracy
, or plebiscitory democracy.
This doctrine stands at an opposite pole from the doctrine of the
divine right of kings
.
