“Sovereignty itself is, NOT SUBJECT TO LAW, for it is the author and source of law; but in our system, while sovereign powers are delegated to the agencies of government, SOVEREIGNTY ITSELF REMAINS WITH THE PEOPLE, by whom and for whom all government exists and acts. And the law is the definition and limitation of power.” Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356, 370 (1886)
