Main Features of Sovereignty:

 Main features of sovereignty are the following: 

1. Absoluteness: 

Sovereignty is always absolute and unlimited. It does not depend on any other power. All the individuals and their groups are under the sovereign state. Outside the state also, sovereign individual is considered to be the supreme in matter of his state. No other state can interfere in his internal matter, nether can force him for any thing.

2. Universality: 

Sovereignty is supreme among all the persons, organizations and other matters within the state. State can itself keep out anything out of its jurisdiction, but no person or organization has the right to keep itself out of the jurisdiction of the state. Sovereignty is universal, omnipresent and public power within the jurisdiction of the state.

3. Inalienability: 

Sovereignty is intact. So, it cannot be given to anyone else. If a sovereign state transfers its sovereignty to anyone, its own existence will be lost.

4. Permanence: 

Sovereignty is permanent. As long as the state exists, sovereignty also exists. Both cannot be separated from each other.

5. Indivisibility: 

Sovereignty is complete and universal. It cannot be divided into parts. Dividing sovereignty will mean the division of state. 

6. Exclusiveness: 

There cannot be two sovereigns in a state. It there will be two sovereigns in one state, then unity of the state will be destroyed.
