ABSTRACT
The sovereignty, the governmental power, was divided, or more exactly, diffused over both the central government and states. The fund of sovereignty is shared, though unequally, by the several states and the nation. In the American system, the sovereignty—governmental power—is divided between the central government and the state governments; and the share of sovereignty possessed by the central government is in turn diffused among the five major branches: legislature, executive, judiciary, bureaucracy, and lobbies. The bureaucracy, the lobbies are suspended between the legislature and the executive, and Dr. George B. Galloway includes both in what he calls a "Third Chamber". Congress represents the people on a territorial basis, whereas the lobby represents them on a functional basis, according to their occupations as members of organized groups. It has become increasingly difficult for a member of Congress to represent all the varied interests of his constituents, and so other representatives have been added in the "Third Chamber".
