The government is only sovereign to the extent that people voluntarily relinquish their rights to that government through elected representation. As you noted, power is derived through and by the people's consent. Even with their consent, there are limits on what the government may lawfully do. Too bad in today's power grab the constitution is only given lip service by most politicians today.

You sound as if you support a reality called a democracy, mob rule and all.

As for responsibility, read my tag line.....
