Ultimately, sovereignty in a democracy resides with the individual citizen. But the effective application of the prinicipal has been its delegation to the various levels of government. Internationally, sovereignty resides with the President of the United States and the Congress of the United States, as regards diplomacy and treaties. Domestically, it is also shared by the states, through their legislatures and courts. The Supreme Court exercises the sovereignty of the Constitution with regard to all other governmental and juducial actions.
