- Internal Sovereignty
- Refers to the location of supreme power within the state.
- This is about what happens within the territory.
- This has been crucial to the development of state structure and systems of rule.
- This type of sovereignty usually lies in the hands of the monarch.
- However, this changed during the 18th Century, when this idea was rejected by Jean-Jacques.
- This type of sovereignty usually lies in the hands of the monarch.
- Jacques rejected the idea of monarchical rule, as he favoured popular authority (authority lies with the people).
- The doctrine of popular sovereignty was the basis of modern democracy.
- No other state can technically rule another state that is not their own, or intervene with their sovereignty.
- E.g. Blair and Bush ignored the EU when deciding to participate in the Iraq war.
