Summary/Abstract: Britons set great store by sovereignty, though they may be uncertain what it means. It seems to have to do with Britain’s being an island; with having withstood invasion since 1066; and with being a monarchy. Having established a parliamentary democracy without devising a constitution or suffering revolutions; having been the ‘cradle of the Industrial Revolution’; and having ruled the most far-flung empire in world history are also factors.
