In the last few years, many people in many parts of the world have been upset because people\'s sovereignty as the governance of state power that is integrated with human values has experienced an existential threat. Elections or democratic festivities as a means for people to choose leaders to serve them have become a funeral route for people\'s sovereignty because they can be engineered to produce tyranny. Its dignity has been degenerated into just a political tool to vent the lust of power of the power hunters. Democracy kills democracy; power management that can build a civilization has been paralyzed in the face of death.
