The sovereign is the ultimate authority. In the USA “we the people” delegate the sovereign power to our elected officials.

They are now exercising that power in the interest of the people (they believe) that grant that power.

You don't actually believe in the core tenets of the USA if you think that the government should have or should exercise unchecked, abusive power.

The power should be checked by the people and the government we have established. It shouldn't have its power checked by private corporations.

You're not American so it might be hard to wrap your head around, but here the "sovereign" leadership is not the ultimate authority.

Ever heard of the Constitution?

What part of the constitution is being violated here? Genuine question.
