at different stages of development of the state sovereignty with the changing socio-economic and political structures of society took on different forms of expression. The idea of sovereignty and the understanding of its essence has appearnig gradually, bit by bit absorbing the achievements of the legal thought and best practices of state-legal development of the various countries of the world since ancient times. Thus, Aristotle, identifies as a specific characteristic of the Polis (the state) that distinguishes it from all other kinds of human Association, self-sufficiency (autarky), what his teachings meant the ability of the state to exist independently of the other unions that fully satisfy their needs. Although, as later in the feudal society that was built on the legal hierarchical principle, there still was absent any idea of such a quality that distinguishes the state from all other power as sovereignty.

Some authors believe that Aristotle and Cicero put forward the principle of sovereignty, do not knowing that term and. its defenition. However, it should be recognized that the idea of the supremacy of the state in society is ideologically justified and actively defended already Marsili of Padua. It based on the ideas of Royal sovereignty, he acknowledged the necessity of existence in the society and other than specified, will that have to participate in common decisions (positive laws) and to monitor the implementation of the decisions taken.

The first coherent concept of state sovereignty is usually associated with the name of such a scientist as Jean Bodin. In his book Six books on the Republic was the first attempt of a comprehensive and consistent response to a number of issues relating to sovereignty. With Boden don't just link the emergence of the first unified legal concept of sovereignty, but sometimes refer to him as the most eminent founder of the modern theory of sovereignty. According to his concept, sovereignty is the Supreme, absolute, and perpetual power, and the only entity having such power, may be cited as the government. Boden objectively for its time, argues that sovereignty is embodied in the Supreme ruler of the state, which is simultaneously the source, the carrier and the main implementer of its sovereignty, and any authority may exercise the sovereign himself, and other persons and bodies, but only the sovereign may be judge in the last instance about what is right and what is sovereign will. In your judgement about what is right, according to Boden, the sovereign is legally nothing is connected, but the requirements of common sense implies the feasibility of the common good and wise advice. The power of the sovereign also is always independent from all other entities of legal relations, although the Supreme, it is only within the state. In relations with other States, sovereigns, independent, but not sovereign, as they have to abide by its freely assumed international obligations. Boden concludes, and that sovereignty cannot be divided or delegated to any conditions or any term, however, can be alienated from one subject to another, i.e. can be irrevocably and unconditionally transferred.

J. Boden creates a bourgeois theory of state sovereignty centered on the idea of an indivisible, single, permanent, standing above the law of the government. Sovereignty, according to Boden, means free from obedience to the laws power over citizens and subjects.

Under the sovereignty of Bodin understood the power of absolute and permanent, not connected by any restrictions, laws. That is the absoluteness of power that is not constrained by any conditions. Consistency also means that this power is not installed at any time, and exist in their own right, such as a hereditary monarchy. It is easy to see that the situation J. Boden of sovereignty was directed against the feudal separatism, in justification of Royal absolutism, which he seeks to distinguish from tyranny. The essential features of sovereignty, he believes the power to make laws without anyone's consent. The power of war and peace, the right of the court in the last instance, and several others.
