Popular Sovereignty is the idea that power comes from the People. Prior to the Constitution, Power came from a King, Queen, or special class (nobility or priests). Power was concentrated within one person. The idea that a common person had the same rights as one from a noble class was revolutionary and went against all the teachings of the day. The idea that common people had the power to overthrow a ruler for being corrupt was even more revolutionary. The Constitution was often referred to as the "Grand Experiment" because none of the Founding Fathers were sure if it would actually work.

Luda [366]

Answer:

Giuseppe is using a schema to help him reconstruct his memory for the event.

Explanation:

A schema consists of a cognitive frame or conceptualization that contributes to the organization and interpretation of information. Schemas can be helpful in that they make it possible for us to interpret the large amount of information that sorrounds us with less effort. In the case of Giuseppe, he is making use of it in order to recapitulate past information about the wedding to which he attended.
