The idea of Popular Sovereignty is that it stated that all government power comes from the people. The Declaration of Independence claimed that people had the right to abolish unjust government, a right to revolt. It also emphasized the principle of popular sovereignty. It
is the principle that the legitimacy of the state is created and sustained by the will or consent of its people, who are the source of all political power.
