Popular sovereignty is the idea in government where the people are given the power and right to basically govern themselves. Where they make all decisions for their well being on their own. This is seen in the case with the territories in the 19th century of the United States History. The question of whether popular sovereignty was the right thing for them in this case had been considered many times.
Now a question that I pose is, would popular sovereignty be seen as ideal in utilitarianism considering it could be a easy path to absolute pleasure in government? Thoughts?
