What role does popular sovereignty play in the constitution

Popular sovereignty is government based on consent of the people. It means all political power resides in the people. The people are sovereign. Popular Sovereignty is a doctrine or belief that government is created by and subject to the will of the people. The word 'popular' in this context means representing or adapted for the benefit of the people. For example, The United States of America is a 'Sovereign State' meaning a state which administers its own government, and is not dependent on, or subject to, another power such as a monarch.

The idea and concept of Popular Sovereignty is the belief that the authority, legality and legitimacy of the government is created by the will or consent of its people.

Its role are as follows:

•It provides people with regional stability: Many wars are fought over resources within a region. If it doesn’t come to war, it may come to theft. Popular sovereignty allows each region to manage their own resources at the individual level, creating a natural set of checks and balances.

•It creates numerous economic opportunities: Let’s say one region grows wheat and a second region grows corn. Each region has more than they need, so they trade with each other so that there is wheat and corn for both. This economic opportunity creates jobs, livable wages, and a better standard of living for all.

•It allows unique cultures to thrive and grow: Popular sovereignty allows for cultures who wish to maintain their heritage to do so without conflict or interference.

Explanation:

especially research the treaty of greenville and the treaty of colerain in washington's administration.   also research at least one significant treaty from the administrations of adams, jefferson, and madison. tell the outcome of each treaty and how it did or did not in the further development of the west.

treaty of greenville (1814) the treaty of greenville (1814) was called a treaty of peace and friendship between the united states of america and the tribes of native americans called the wyandots, delawares, shawanoese, senacas and miamies.

the treaty of colerain was signed at st. marys, georgia in camden county, georgia, by benjamin hawkins, george clymer, and andrew pickens for the united states and representatives of the creek nation, for whom indian trader langley bryant served as an interpreter, on june 29, 1796, proclaimed on march 18, 1797, and codified as 7 stat. 56. colerain was a small community and the site of a u.s. indian factory founded by james seagrove.  

this treaty affirmed the binding of the treaty of new york (1790). the treaties of hopewell and the treaty of holston (1791) established boundary lines between the choctaws, chickasaws, cherokee, and the u.s. the treaty of colerain bound the creek nation to acknowledge the boundaries established in those treaties.  

it also established the boundary line between the creek nation and the united states. at the time of this treaty, the boundaries between spanish florida and the u.s. had not yet been established. this treaty formally allowed the creek chiefs to acknowledge the negotiation for delineating the georgia-florida boundary with spain.  

the treaty contained a provision that the president of the u.s. may establish a trading or military outpost.  

the united states demanded that the creeks give up their american prisoners and also return all "citizens, white inhabitants, negroes and property" taken by the creeks.  

the treaty describes when it would take effect. after the treaty had been signed but not yet promulgated, the u.s. senate requested modification of two articles of the treaty. the first modification stipulated that the military or trading posts would be under the control of the united states. the second modification stipulated that if the u.s. no longer required the use of those posts, the locations would revert to the creek people.
