                            SOVEREIGN

The concept of sovereignty stand on its own.  The sources shown 
below may help you to see that it is a respected and valid 
concept.
  
     "...at the Revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the 
people; and they are truly the sovereigns of the country, but 
they are sovereigns without subjects...with none to govern but 
themselves; the citizens of America are equal as fellow citizens, 
and as joint tenants in the sovereignty."  CHISHOLM v. GEORGIA 
(US) 2 Dall 419, 454, 1 L Ed 440, 455 @DALL 1793 pp471-472     


[Frog Farmer sez: The above was true until the majority abandoned it in 
favor of being coddled with the "benefits" associated with the voluntary 
waiver of their sovereign rights and their abdication of sovereignty 
itself. However, it still exists with a very very small minority.]
=================================================================

The second paragraph below contains a strong statement of the
sovereignty of the people.

     The section is what is known as the "Brown Act" or 
"secret meeting law"  (California Government Code).

                            Chapter 9

                            MEETINGS

Section 54950.  Declaration, intent; sovereignty.  In enacting
this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public
commissions, boards and councils and other public agencies in
this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business.  
It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly
and that their deliberations be conducted openly.

     The people of the State do not yield their sovereignty to 
the agencies which serve them.  The people, in delegating 
authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide 
what is good for the people to know and what is not good for
them to know.  The people insist on remaining informed so that
they may retain control over the instruments they have created.
(Added Stats. 1953, c. 1588, p.3270, sec. 1.)

[FF sez: The people who are served by the agencies must be distinguished 
from those who serve (are subject to) the agencies. Which are you?]
