The Importance of the Preamble - “We the People” are Sovereign [No. 86]
What does it mean for “We the People” to be sovereign? How does this concept make the US Constitution unique?
Professor Steven Calabresi explains that the notion of popular sovereignty was new and unusual in 1787. Under the Articles of Confederation, the states were sovereign. Under the Constitution, the federal government derives its authority and power directly from the people of the United States.
Professor Steven G. Calabresi is the Clayton J. & Henry R. Barber Professor of Law at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. He is Chairman of the Federalist Society's Board of Directors.
