CEVAP:

Bodin describes citizenship as being the subject of the sovereign. According to Bodin, besides being subjects of a common sovereign, citizens may have countless other connections among one another, but what makes them citizens is their being subjects. In relation to this, Bodin defined sovereignty as the supreme form of power which was not restricted by law over citizens and subjects, and he analyzed this power. Unlike Machiavelli, Bodin says that the fact that power of sovereign is not absolute, does not mean it’s being unlimited.
