Is popular sovereignty in article 5 or 7?
The United States Constitution is based on the concept of popular sovereignty, which means rule by the people. The first three words of the Constitution---”We, the people”---imply popular sovereignty. Article 7 of the Constitution requires that nine states (the people of those states via the ballot box and representatives) approve (ratify) the new Constitution before it goes into effect. Article 5 of the Constitution provides for ways to amend the Constitution. Amendments are made through elected representatives of the people, another form of popular sovereignty. Article 1 creates the legislative branch and requires that representatives to Congress are elected by the people that are being represented. Thus, the concept of popular sovereignty is implied in all three Articles.
