Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses a fundamental principle of the functioning of the state and investigates the context in which it applies today. Ancient Greek philosophy principles are carried over in time and they adapt to the new European and international context. Europe turns. After each challenge or crisis, it turns. It starts from the ancient philosophy values and develops new visions. Sovereignty no longer appears as a national attribute, it adapts to the new structures; the principle is respected as such, but is given a make-over because the context changes.
