Answer:

because popular sovereignty means the rule of the common people and not that of the ruler.

Explanation:

The concept of popular sovereignty is one of the fundamental tenets of the Social Contract that the basis of governmental legitimacy (sovereignty) lies with the (popular) people. This theory is based on the notion that governmental authority should exist for the good of the citizen of the government. And if it fails at this purpose it should be dissolved immediately.
