Monistic theory of sovereignty is theory of sovereignty in which some group of people or party or community exercise sovereign power and the sovereign must be in determinate .The will of this determinate person is supreme and is not subjected to any kind of control and they don't obey any other authority. The command of this determinate humans superior is the essence of law to be obeyed. His sovereign power is indivisible and to divide it is to destroy it.

It does not take other social factors into consideration such as family and friends.
There are many strengths and weaknesses of Social Learning Theory. Some strengths include:Accounts and allows for cognitive processesUses both experimental and non-experimental dataDoes explain a large number of behavioursSome weakness include:Doesn't explain all behaviour - how can someone still act in a way they've seen being punished?Doesn't explain differences. People brought up together act very differently.Relies on subjective perceptions. What one person might see as punishment another might see as reward.
