Abstract
Popular sovereignty translated as unfettered constitutional-amendment power - Weakness of constituent power as justification for unfettered amendability - Alternative concept of sovereignty as unaccountability of constituted power - Popular sovereignty as unaccountability of the referendum verdict - Sovereignty emerging at end-point, not inception of constitutional-amendment process
