“Sovereign” refers to a person, group, or state that possesses supreme authority and power, typically over a specific territory or jurisdiction. It denotes the highest level of political and governmental control. A sovereign entity has the ability to govern itself, make laws, enforce them, and conduct its affairs without being subject to the authority of another higher power.
In the context of nations, a sovereign state is an independent and self-governing political entity recognized as having full legal and political control over its own territory. Sovereignty implies autonomy and the absence of external interference or domination.
The term can also be used more broadly to describe individuals or entities that have absolute and independent control or authority over a particular domain, whether it be in legal, financial, or other contexts.
