The correct response is: by allowing the people to choose their representatives.

Popular sovereignty is the principle that the authority of a government is created and sustained by the consent of its people, typically through their elected representatives. The Constitution reflects this principle by establishing a system of representative democracy, where officials are chosen through elections.
