People From Pontefract
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty.

Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ...
