Popular Sovereignty:
Popular sovereignty is when the people in a republic are supreme and the political authority in the society comes from the will and approval of the subject population. The government is of, by, and for the people.
Natural Rights:
Natural Rights are rights that are considered part of human nature and cannot be taken away. The rights grow out of nature of being a human and are essential to human progress. They are different from rights given to people by law because natural rights are universal whereas legal rights are politically relative.
Right of Self Determination:
The right of self determination is the right of a free choice of ones own acts and the right to decide how they want to be governed without influences of a country or outside force. In other words, it's the freedom of people to determine their own political status.
Right to Revolution:
The right to revolution simply means that the subjects of a state have a right to overthrow their government or revolt if the government does not fulfill its duties.
Social Contract:
A social contract is an agreement that people of a society make to protect their natural rights. In this agreement the people give up some of their freedom to the government so that they can protect their natural rights.
