gov quiz 1.1 (sept. 15)
the usa is sovereign, but pennsylvania is not sovereign. explain what this means.

Explanation:

Sovereignty refers to supreme authority. The USA is a sovereign nation - it has the ultimate power to govern itself, make laws, and conduct foreign relations without external interference. Pennsylvania, as a state within the USA, is a sub - national entity. It operates under the overarching sovereignty of the federal government and is subject to federal laws and the US Constitution. It does not have the full - fledged sovereignty of an independent nation.

Answer:

The USA has sovereignty as it is an independent nation with the power to govern itself, make laws, and interact with other countries on its own terms. Pennsylvania, being a state within the USA, is subject to the sovereignty of the federal government and the US Constitution. It lacks the complete sovereignty of an independent nation - state, having powers that are delegated or reserved by the federal system.
