Principal

The source of authority, think of a chain of authority that goes from one person to another, with a source. This is also why you’d hear politicians call their electors “constituents”, because these electors delegated their authority to them.

A true constituent is one who has the authority, and grants it to another to act in their stead. This is the basis of a citizen (national, member of a people) granting authority to a government to perform defined tasks and have defined powers.

This authority is held by a national because it was originally granted by Nature and Nature’s God. This authority can then be passed down through the medium of organized government by the members of the state (nationals) to the government they created, which is a group of agents acting in the stead of members of the state.

The source of authority or right. A superintendent, as of a school district. Williams v. School Dist. No. 189, 104 Wash. 659, 177 P. 635, 636.
