Summary/Abstract: In this article some of the constitutional dimensions of popular, national and state sovereignty have been treated. The discourse is centered at the linkage and identification of the concept of popular sovereignty to Rosseau’s theory of Social contract; the structure of popular sovereignty principle including its source, repository and beneficiary; the statement that the Ordinary National assembly (Bulgarian Parliament) can be regarded as a repository of the popular sovereignty; differentiation between political and legal sovereignty; and the thesis that allocation of sovereignty in the federal states instead of federal vertical separation of powers can be applied in the constitutional future of the European Union.
