Popular sovereignty is the belief that all political power is ultimately held by the people. The people agree to relinquish some power, but not all. Since only a portion of the power is given to rulers, their authority is limited and the remaining powers reside with the people. The people, through voting can vote for or against proposed laws, thereby stopping government officials from enacting laws on their own. This keeps government officials from having too much power and limits corruption.

The power of the Government is limited in that Government cannot do everything it desires. This is so because it was elected by people, and assuming that the politicians in the goverment will want to be re-elected, they have to do what the people want, and not whatever they want: they have limits on their actions.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The answer is: individual discrimination.

Explanation:

Individual discrimination occurs between two people, one person discriminating another. In this case, Mary refuses to rent an apartment to Millie due to her age, she is discriminating her and her behavior can be defined as ageist. However, her decision is not based in ageist laws or regulations, which is why it is not institutional discrimination, it is only her decision as an individual.

Individual dscrimination is different from institutional discrimination, however, they both have the intention to hurt the other person and they are both based upon prejudice and stereotypes, which is why individual discrimination should not be taken lightly as it also has the power to affect a person's life.

What reminder of the war outside keeps the residents up at night? ambulances
Murrr4er [49]
It's usually bombings that keep residents up at night. Nobody's going to stay up solely because you hear folks laughing or if you hear ambulances. In the midst of war, a bombing is going to scare people the most and will most likely keep them up at night :(
