👉 Sovereignty is a concept in political science that refers to the power of an individual or group to exercise control over their own affairs, without interference from another entity. It encompasses the ability of individuals and groups to make decisions about their personal lives, including land ownership, property rights, and the distribution of resources. In a sovereign state, such as a country, sovereignty is exercised through laws, constitutional provisions, and international agreements that define who has the right to govern and how they can exercise it.
