Elizabeth Bentley wrote to me, saying, "It is actually possible to be a
democracy while still having a monarch - or do you not consider the UK a
democracy?" in response to my definition of popular sovreignty as "the
concept that in a democracy we are self-governing rather than having a
king."

Elizabeth, and all other list members, I owe you an apology. I wrote my
definition of popular sovreignty without much thought and with an
American/U.S. bias. Thanks for the "reality check." The teacher requesting
a book on the subject said a more accurate definition would be the concept
thatin a democracy citizens are in charge of public officials and their
powers.

Still hoping for a title or two...Anne
