(1856 Edition)
SOVEREIGN STATE. One which governs itself independently of any foreign
power.
SOVEREIGNTY. The union and exercise of all human power possessed in a
state; it is a combination of all power; it is the power to do
everything in a state without accountability; to make laws, to execute
and to apply them: to impose and collect taxes, and, levy,
contributions; to make war or peace; to form treaties of alliance or of
commerce with foreign nations, and the like.
2. Abstractedly, sovereignty resides in the body of the nation and
belongs to the people. But these powers are generally exercised by
delegation.
3. When analysed, sovereignty is naturally divided into three great
powers; namely, the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary; the
first is the power to make new laws, and to correct and repeal the old;
the second is the power to execute the laws both at home and abroad; and
the last is the power to apply the laws to particular facts; to judge
the disputes which arise among the citizens, and to punish crimes.

"'Sovereignty' is a term used in many senses and is much abused. As used
here, it implies a state's lawful control over it's territory generally
to the exclusion of other states, authority to govern in that territory,
and authority to apply law there."
