"What is nation? And what is justice?" is a big story that is constantly raised in the past and today. 'Justice' is defined differently by age, culture, and identity, and does not uniformly recognize members in the same cultural circle of the same age. The political culture as complex as these different perceptions and the reality that the legal system is reformed and enacted constantly indirect proves that it is difficult to understand uniformly the concept of 'justice. even though it is universal truth that the rule of 'what is justice' is difficult today, regardless of any national system, the decision of justice is made by the sovereign. And the notion of sovereignty in the sense that it is the sovereign who defines the justice of the state while making the collective community a state is a core concept necessary to understand the state and the state system.
The first person who tried to understand the notion of sovereignty was Jean Bodin. He established the notion of sovereignty on a systematic and primitive base. According to Jean Bodin, sovereignty is an absolutely and eternally national power. at this point, Bodin's absolutism of sovereignty does not mean unlimited or ruthless force. Bodin's concept of sovereignty, when considered in Bodin's text and the context of the times, implies no constraints of external interference and no add constraints or conditions. Also, perpetuality can be understood by understanding the concept of two bodies of the king. following Bodin's principle of sovereignty, he can rejoice sovereignty permanently as a political body, not a human natural body.
Finally, Bodin 's notion of sovereignty has the possibility of dividend payment as a major property. By doing this, the logical contradiction that the people appearing in the sovereignty of the people is the sovereign and ruled by the sovereign is eliminated. According to Bodin's theory of sovereignty, the sovereign of the state has a single sovereignty, but the system of the government can be mixed. Here Bodin's revolutionarily national notion is revealed, which is the division of the state and the concept of government. Thus, the separation of the concept of individual and the citizen as well as Bodin's theory of sovereignty reveals that in the state of the national sovereignty system, the people remain sovereign, but the government, which has been given power by the people, becomes logically possible to dominate the individual.
This sovereignty is limited by lex natural, lex divine, and lex fundamental, Paradoxically, it is limited by the universal reality of natural law and divine law, which serves as a logical basis for universal authority of sovereignty, It functions as a mechanism to guarantee the independence of individual countries in that sovereignty is limited by the fundamental laws that define individual characteristics.
Such Bodin 's efforts serve as a foundation for the transition from the Middle Ages to modern times, and at the same time provide the argument for ensuring the independence of the state. And Bodin's theory of sovereignty has significance in that it contributed to the coming of a just nation by the universal norms of today, when the era of globalization came. Although the in - depth study of his concept of sovereignty should be supplemented, I hope that this dissertation has given us another opportunity to understand his concept of sovereignty.
