    Pluralist Theory of Sovereignty

    Lovely Lenin
    The pluralist theory of sovereignty rejects the monistic legal theory that the state is the sole and supreme power. It argues that there is no single source of authority and that sovereignty is plural, constitutional, and responsible. According to pluralist theorists like Laski, the state's claim to allegiance must be justified on moral grounds. They believe that management and control of society should be shared by various associations based on their contributions to the common good, leading to decentralization of authority. Critics argue that without a classless society, sovereignty cannot truly be divided or limited, and dividing it among associations could lead to anarchy and instability.

    Pluralist Theory Of Sovereignty

    The pluralist theory of sovernity is the reaction of the legal theory of sovernity . in the theory of the
    monistic legal theory state is the higher power and the or the supreme association and all other
    association are the creation or created by the state and their sovernity depend on their exsisting power

    The pluralist theory rejects this and tries to establish that there is no single source
    of authority that is all competent and comprehensive.
    Laski says that sovereignty is neither absolute nor a unity. It is pluralist,
    constitutional and responsible. State has no superior claim to an individual's
    allegiance. It can justify itself as a public service corporation. State exists to
    coordinate functions of human association in the best interest. He belives that the
    state enjoy previlags due to the wider jurisdiction which has a association and
    the individual human within its boundary. But it does not mean that it is superior

    The pluralist says that “ demand that the same must justify its claim to allegiance on moral
    grounds. Actually to them the management and control of society must be shared by
    various associations in proportion to their contribution to the common goods. This theory
    stands for the decentralization of authority”.

    He also not consider the difference between state and the government

    Chief tenants of the theory

    Deals with the political aspect of sovernity

    State is the combination of the individuals and individual interest

    State was not the obsolute or legal supreme

    State was not the only solution fo th legistrature

    State and government or not difference .

    Critics maintain that without establishment of a classless society, sovereignty can neither be
    divided nor be limited. In order to limit the sovereignty of the state there must be a
    classless society.
    The demands for freedom from different associations also are criticized. Division of
    sovereignty among different associations is not only impossible but also improper. The
    pluralist view will lead to political anarchy and social instability.
