Why this is the correct answer
Popular sovereignty (Volkssouveränität) is the principle that all legitimate political authority originates from the people. In Germany's Basic Law, this is expressed in the phrase "All state power comes from the people," meaning citizens are the ultimate source of governmental authority, exercised through elections and representation.
