Please note that I said "most".
So were is the legal origion of your legislature's power? Is it entrusted
to them by the king, a noble caste, by the people, or is just given to
them? I'm not looking for the street level answer, I'm looking for the
wording the document that set up your legislature and courts.

OK, this is a totally American question, but why are they treated any
differently than anyone else? I'm being totally serious. In a democracy
or a republic, a majority of the people have to be convinced (although in
the US, that can be done pretty cheaply). How does one determine if a
soverign is worthy of the title, and how do you take it back if they show
themselves to be unworthy?
>??? Please elaborate, I don't understand what you mean at all.
Look above. In the legal documents, who does the power of the courts and
legislature derive thier power from?
>Because of an obsession with virtually non-existant tradition?
Like a monarchy? Or is becuase arms, quartering of troops and taxation
were the biggest agreivements that the British crown had inflicted upon
it's Colonies?
