Good one AKira.
Here you go law dog: "In the United States, Sovereignty resides in the people, who
act through the organs established by the Constitution." Chisholm
v. Georgia, 2 Dall 419, 471; Penhallow v. Doane's Administrators, 3
Dall 54, 93; McCullock v. Maryland, 4 Wheat 316, 404, 405; Yick Yo
v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356, 370.
AND: Strictly speaking, in our republican form of government, the
absolute sovereignty of the nation is in the people of the nation;
and the residuary sovereignty of each state, not granted to any of
its public functionaries, is in the people of the state. 2 Dall.
471; Bouv. Law Dict (1870).
