Best Answer

"Internal sovereignty" or "state sovereignty" represents the legitimate authority of a state or local government to establish and enforce laws within their jurisdiction. In the US, states retain those prerogatives not expressly granted to the national (Federal) government, so long as they are not exercised in conflict with Federal Laws and regulations. A state that has internal sovereignty is one with a government that has been elected by the people and has the popular legitimacy. (Commentary has been moved to the Discussion pages)

How firm is the notion of sovereignty in today's global environment?

It's a mixed bag, as always.If you are a long time and/or established power, like France, Spain, Brazil and such, and not seriously impeding the foreign policy of the United States, your sovereignity is relatively safe.If you are not possessing anything the United State's wants, and not defying the United States, your sovereignity is relatively safe.If you are a vassal state of the United States, like Canada, Britain or Mexico, your sovereignity is safe.If you are actually more powerful than the United States, such as China and possibly India, your sovereignity is very safe.If your are not so powerful, but at least have a few nuclear weapons, such as North Korea, your sovereignity is very safe.Other than that, (and especially if you have something the United States wants) you have no sovereignity, merely a currently existing regime clearly unresponsive to the will of your people, probably harboring terrorists, and who's people are in desperate need of "liberation" by the United States.Always remember the conversational exchange between Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer in one of Mark Twain's books.Huck: "Do nations always apologize if they done wrong?"Tom: "The little ones do."

That's Singapore, one can say that it consists of the only one city - Singapore. Also until 1997 Hong Kong formally was a colony of the UK and had sovereignity in general, but in 1997 Hong Kong transfered its sovereignity to China, though it still has a wide autonomy.
