Best Answer

A sovereign is a ruler, like a king.

A sovereign was also an English gold coin.

The adjective sovereign means self-governing. The laws of the United States do not apply in other countries like Canada or Mexico, because Canada and Mexico are sovereign states. They make their own laws. It is surprising how many Americans do not understand this.
Sovereign is having high power.
