Résumé :
The opening article of the Swedish constitution states that "All public power in Sweden derives from the population" But, in a representative democracy, who ends up holding the power?
Actually, direct democracy can't be implemented in a large country. This form of democracy was used in the Antic Greece: the citizens (even if citizenship couldn't be given to the foreigners, the salves and the women) gathered in Assembly of 40 000 members on the Pnix hill to make important decisions by a show of hand. Its competences were significant. But the modern form of democracy is the representative one. The people doesn't rule but through elected representatives. The power is delegated to these representatives who are required to implement democracy in a large country. In this case, the representative is not submitted to the people through an imperative mandate: they can do whatever they want thanks to the representative mandate they enjoy. Their only sanctions will be the no-reelection. The sovereignty is national and no more popular: this means that it can be only exercised through the vote.
