I'm thinking your question means to ask, "<em><u>What</u></em><em> is popular sovereignty?"</em>

"Popular sovereignty" means the people are in charge of establishing a government over themselves.  

The founding fathers of the United States adopted the idea of popular sovereignty from Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke (of England) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (of France).

The Declaration of Independence (1776), written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, asserted the concept of popular sovereignty.  The Declaration insisted that people institute governments in order to secure their rights, and that governments get their authority from the consent of the governed.  "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends," the Declaration of Independence said, "it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Here are the options:

They are completely separate types of policy issues that do not affect one another.

Leaders must consider how one type of policy may affect the other since they relate.

The president and Senate are the only groups making decisions on these policy issues.

Officials are separated by which type of policy they work on and ignore the other type.

The correct answer is : Leaders must consider how one type of policy may affect the other since they relate.

Explanation:  Domestic policy is a policy that relates directly to issues and activities within a country or nation and these issues are internal. It simply refers to how a nation or country conducts and runs its affairs. These issues are important in shaping and running the affairs of the society.

While foreign policy refers to the ways a government of a nation or country relates and runs its affairs in world politics. Foreign policy involves policies between two or more nations dealing with issues externally.  Such issues include  helping defenseless people or nations in times of war and natural disasters. Foreign affairs or policies also help in settling disputes among or between nations.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Mary Wollstonecraft was an Enlightenment thinker as she applied Enlightenment ideas on individual freedom to women, as well as to men.

Explanation:

Mary Wollstonecraft was an English philosopher and writer. Considered a leading figure in the modern world, she wrote novels, stories, essays, treatises, a travel story and a children's literature book. As an eighteenth-century woman, she was able to establish herself as a professional and independent writer in London, something unusual for the time. In her work Vindication of women's rights (1792), she argues that women are not by nature inferior to men, but appear to be because they do not receive the same education, and that men and women should be treated as rational beings. She imagined, also, a social order based on reason. With this work, she established the foundations of modern feminism and made her one of the most popular women in Europe of the time.
