Sovereignty is a legal and political concept in which, as Ferrajoli points out, the problems and aporias of the theory of law and the State converge. The idea of sovereignty, even though it is already known in the Middle Ages by authors such as Beaumanoir and Marino de Caramanico, in its meaning of "suprema potesta superiorem non recognoscens" goes back to the moment of appearance of the European national States and to the weakening, in the threshold of the modern age, the idea of universal legal order that medieval culture had inherited from Roman civilization.
