What is popular sovereignty?

Rule by the elite
Monarchial rule
Dictatorship
Rule by the people

The correct answer is: Rule by the people

Popular sovereignty refers to the principle that the citizens of a country hold ultimate authority and have the power to govern themselves. This means that the people have the right to make decisions about their government and policies through voting and other democratic processes. Option A, B, and C all involve forms of rule by a select group or individual, rather than the general population, making them incorrect choices for popular sovereignty.
