Indivisibility of Sovereignty Sample Clauses

Indivisibility of Sovereignty. Before directly approaching the issue of the indivisibility of sovereignty, we should briefly examine the path Xxxxxxx took before addressing this question. First of all, in the third chapter of The Beast and the Sovereign, Xxxxxxx deals with sovereignty from a different perspective than he used to in his previous works. He contemplates the origin of the traditional view on a sovereign’s power. He starts by taking under consideration the linguistic side. The father of deconstruction points out the machismo within the way the language is constructed. Xxxxxxx (2009) gives examples how in French and English different characteristics are attached to the male and female gender. There is the beast, a female which should be tamed, housed and put under a kind of rational control. On the other hand, there is the sovereign, king, leader. Whether he is the head of state or only of a household, he governs nonetheless. The male is the one in power. The sovereign, in the broadest sense of the term, is he who has the right and the strength to be and be recognized as himself, the same, properly the same as himself (Xxxxxxx, 2009, p. 66). Therefore, the self-positioning of the sovereign is once again understood as its central characteristic, i.e. his ability to position everything and everybody, including himself. Xxxxxxx (2009) perceives a seemingly controversial connection between the idea of the sovereign’s ability of positioning and dictatorship. However, one shouldn’t be fooled by this. He uses dictatorship as a metaphor of the sovereign’s power, his ability to dictate and make commandments. Xxxxxxx (2009) claims that from Roman to modern times, a sovereign could be located on a broad spectrum, from magistrates and state leaders all up to modern dictators, which could befound in the Soviet Union or the Third Xxxxx. All of them are perceived as ultimate powers, the highest ones which cannot be questioned. The sovereign unifies all the powers of a certain group in one point, in one institution. Maybe the best way to describe this sentiment would be to examine the quote attributed to the famous Le Roi Soleil, Louis XIV king of France who allegedly said: “L'État, c'est moi!” Exactly this concentration of power in the sovereign is one of the characteristics that brought to appointing him with the notion of indivisibility. The opinions of Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx regarding the relation of law and the sovereign overlap in certain points. Xxxxxxx follows the ideas of the German ju...
