The excerpt defines Popular Sovereignty (option 3). This political doctrine holds that all political power (authorities of states and federal government) is inherent in the people, that is to say, people create it, gives consents to it and sustains it. In this principle, people tend to choose their representative (individuals that advocate for their needs, desires and projects as society) through fair elections.
