Describe the ways in which popular sovereignty is exercised directly and indirectly under the constitution

Popular sovereignty takes four forms. The first is the basic concept of creating the Constitution itself: the people elected representatives who saw to it that a document representing everyone was created. Second and third, the Constitution and its amendments must be ratified by a supermajority of the states, voted on again by the constituents. Finally, the very act of voting itself is popular sovereignty: when people vote on those who will represent them in government and vote on their beliefs about legislation, this is popular sovereignty at work.
