Sovereignty is an absolute authority within a
given territory. The possession of
sovereignty is taken to be the distinguishing
feature of the state, as against other forms
of community. The term has an internal
aspect, in that it refers to the ultimate
source of authority within a state, such as a
parliament or monarch, and an external
aspect, where it denotes the independence of
the state from any outside authority.
