The words sovereign and sovereignty do not appear in the Declaration of Independence. Those words were intentionally omitted. The question to be addressed here is whether the invention of sovereignty was for promoting the liberty of the people, or for enslavement. What causes a perversion of the natural order of things? It is Òconfusion concerning sovereigntyÓ resulting in state or government supremacy over the people. Maybe this was the intent behind the invention of the concept known as sovereignty.
