Sovereignty refers to the right that confers the authority to rule over a certain territory.
The question refers to France, which has sovereignty to rule in their department in South America, know as the French Guiana, which is a region of France and therefore part of the European Union. Since the independence of Belice in 1981, this is the only mainland American territory which is still part of a European country.
Answer: The correct answer is : Fasces
Explanation: Fasces was the union of 30 rods usually of elm forming a cylinder holding an ax, tied with a red leather ribbon. At first it was the symbol of the military power of the Etruscan kings that was later adopted by the Roman monarchs. The meaning of power is because union is strength, because it is easier to break a rod alone than a bunch.
In 610 CE, the prophet Muhammad has a vision that ultimately led to the creation of Islam. However, when Muhammad died in 632 CE, people disagreed over who should succeed him as caliph. The Sunnis believed that Abu Bakr (his successor) was the right choice, which the Shiites disagreed, believing that the next caliph should've been Ali, Muhammad's brother in law. Still to this day, there is a definite split, and while they both have the same fundamental beliefs, neither get along well. This issue is especially prevalent in the Middle East where the majority of people are Sunnis, however the Shiites do not want them to hold power, so rebellion occurs. Likewise, when the Shiites gain power, the Sunnis rebel. The terrorist group ISIS is technically fighting for the Sunnis, however it is important to note that they practice a very radical form and do not represent the beliefs of most Muslims.
