Sovereignty
“Sovereignty, in layman's terms, means a state or a governing body has the full right and power to govern itself without any
interference from outside sources or bodies. In political theory, sovereignty is a substantive term designating supreme authority over some policy. It is a basic principle underlying the dominant
Westphalian model of state foundation.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereignty
