No political concept has played a greater role in human history than that of popular sovereignty. During the last few centuries it has agitated human hearts, organized peoples into powerful revolutionary forces and toppled over several thrones of ancient monarchies e.g. of France, Russia. It has been propounded by some of the greatest political philosophers, like Locke and Rousseau. Yet it has been questioned, doubted and even indignantly rejected by several others.<\/p>
