| Summary: | Sovereignty as a feature of state power, shall be expressed in terms of organizing and exercising, determining and
resolving internal and external problems, freely and according to its will, without any interference, respecting the sovereignty
of other states, as well as European and international law norms. The sovereignty of the people may remain a mere fiction, in
the conditions in which the people, as a whole, does not become or is not aware of its complete and complex role as the sole
sovereign owner of state power. The people assuming and exercising this role implies not only that it has the right to participate
in government, which is in fact an essential aspect of democracy, but also the fundamental duty to achieve social, economic
prosperity accompanied by cultural development to ensure the freedom it needs in order to fulfil its civic obligations and duties.
From this point of view, the state has the aim of realizing the social expectations of the people, the requirements laid down by
various groups or social categories in decisions for the exercise of state power. Rather controversial, the concept of
sovereignty, from the perspective of its historical imposition and configuration, involves at least two connotations likely to
cause an active and permanent controversy in specialized literature - a simple statement and a political and legal concept. |
