A freely-elected representative government has no power that is superior to the People, because sovereignty resides in the People, not in the representatives of the People.

It is often reported that officials are “elected into power”, whereas they are actually “elected into office”. An elected official can only have delegated powers, because they are always subservient to their electors. Public Servants, by definition, are subservient to Private Sovereigns.

Unfortunately, most people do not exercise their sovereignty.
