Both federal and state governments obtain sovereignty directly from the consent of the people. This is a fundamental principle of democracy, where power ultimately rests in the hands of the citizens who have the ability to choose their leaders and shape the policies that govern them. The Treaty of Versailles, Declaration of Independence, and Divine Right of Kings are not relevant to the source of governmental sovereignty in the United States, and block grants are a form of funding rather than a source of sovereignty.
