De jure, or legal, sovereignty is the theoretical right to exercise exclusive control over one's subjects.

De facto sovereignty indicates to a sovereign who

without legal support or constitutional support enjoys sovereign

power. De jure sovereign is recognized by law or the

constitution, but not in position to practice its power.

In case of revolutions, that is a successful overthrow of

the existing regime in a state tree may be de facto and de jure

sovereigns. For example when Mussolini came to power in Italy

in 1922, de facto sovereignty passed into his hands although

Victor Emmanual was the de jure sovereign.

The military Dictatorship of the present world,

established after a coup d'etate also represents de facto

sovereignty until it evolves suitable means to legitimize its

authority.
