Sovereignty is the exclusive right to have control over an area of governance, people, or oneself. A sovereign is the supreme lawmaking authority.

Enlightenment philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in Book III, Chapter III of his 1762 treatise Of the Social Contract, argued, "the growth of the State giving the trustees of public authority more and means to abuse their power, the more the Government has to have force to contain the people, the more force the Sovereign should have in turn in order to contain the Government," with the understanding that the Sovereign is "a collective being" (Book II, Chapter I) resulting from "the general will" of the people, and that "what any man, whoever he may be, orders on his own, is not a law" (Book II, Chapter VI) – and furthermore predicated on the assumption that the people have an unbiased means by which to ascertain the general will.

Thus the legal maxim, "there is no law without a sovereign." A more formal distinction is whether the law is held to be sovereign, which constitutes a true state of law: the letter of the law (if constitutionally correct) is applicable and enforceable, even when against the political will of the nation, as long as not formally changed following the constitutional procedure. Strictly speaking, any deviation from this principle constitutes a revolution or a coup d'état, regardless of the intentions.

In constitutional and international law, the concept also pertains to a government possessing full control over its own affairs within a territorial or geographical area or limit, and in certain context to various organs possessing legal jurisdiction in their own chief, rather than by mandate or under supervision. Determining whether a specific entity is sovereign is not an exact science, but often a matter of diplomatic dispute.

Vision Statement and Purpose:

Sovereignty is the source of internal authority over your life, the source of all power both internal and external, and is innate in all human beings. Choose to govern yourself, respect others and apply the golden rule of love and compassion for others.

We are all born sovereign and free. Now, we must accept this ultimate responsibility and implement true sovereignty in our lives. When we take this stand external authority must bend and change to the will of the people.

"Freedom is determined by the object of our attention. With our attention focused within, we are free. With our attention focused outside, we are enslaved." - Carson's Commentary

Freedom is...I am...

"Neither the world 'free' nor any corresponding term occurs in the root language [of the Sioux], in the primal concept; there was never anything for the Indian to free himself from. His spirit was not seeking truth but holding onto truth. And his was the mind nourished by choice. Whatever he needed to know was sooner or later revealed to him. And that which he desired to know - the best way to achieve his maximum spiritual potential - was the only mystery he chose to investigate." - Ruth Beebe Hill, Hanta Yo
