The excerpt that best illustrates the principle of popular sovereignty is:
"The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several states...."
This statement emphasizes that representatives are elected by the people, reflecting the idea that the government's authority is derived from the consent of the governed.
