History

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."

China was a large exporter for silk, pottery and other goods while they also imported from Middle East and Eastern Europe.

The thriving trade acted as a catalyst and helped to share ideas between many countries. For example, while the Persians learned about paper making, the Chinese were also introduced to Islam.
