(a)Differentiate between legal sovereignty and political sovereignty.

(b) What factors limit the sovereignty of a government?

Explanation

(a) The other name for political sovereignty is popular sovereignty and it is the supreme power of the people to decide the type of government they desire. This decision of the people is exercised through the ballot. It gives them a free hand to decide those capable of representing them in government by transfering the powers they have to them. Legal sovereignty on the other hand is the power exercised by a body in a state. This body is the Parliament. The parliament only has the power to make laws. So, legal sovereignty is with the Parliament. The parliament also has the power to amend the constitution.

(b). Factors that limit the Sovereignty of a Government include:

(i)The constitution: The supremacy of the constitution makes it possible for all institutions in the state to have their powers limited by the constitution. The law of the land should be above everybody in a state.

(ii)Membership of international organisation:As long as countries belong to international organisations, e.g. U.N.O., 0.A.U., ECOWAS, limitations are.placed on the sovereignty of these countries. It is incumbent on them to abide by the policies of these organisations and rules governing them.

(iii)Public opinion:Public opinion has the capacity to check and control the excesses of the powers of government.

(iv) International laws: States have to abide by international laws and conventions. So these laws place limitations on the sovereignty of states.

(v)Foreign aids:Some poor nations of the world receive aids e.g. military, economic aids etc. of different types from developed countries, It is possible for these donor countries to dictate the economic policies of these poor countries.

(vi)The influence of super powers: The West or the East has very strong influence over weaker or smaller countries. The external policies of these weak and small countries are made in line with the influence of these super powers.

(vii)The Military take-over of government:This tends to limit the sovereignty of states. The suspension of the constitution after forceful take-over of power affects the location of sovereignty in a state.

(viii)Delegation of power in modern government: In modern states, powers are transferred or delegated to some other bodies or organisations. For example, the transfer of lawmaking from parliament to other bodies, e.g. NEPA, limits the sovereign power of the parliament.

(a) How did God use Gamaliel to further the cause of Christianity in the early church ?

(b) Mention any four types of opposition that are confronting the Christian church today.

Explanation

(a) The apostles were re-arrested and imprisoned. Ever before this time, the Sadduces had been opposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ. They did not believe in resurrection after death which Jesus Christ preached. As his apostles continued after Jesus' death, the Sadducees and others who opposed Jesus' teaching and his wonders were not happy. In the night, an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and set them free.

The Sanhedrin were surprised when they learnt that they were no longer in the prison. Instead, they were found in the temple, teaching the people. Without any violence, they were brought back before the council for their trial. The high priest said: " We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us". The apostles replied; "We must obey God rather than men..." The apostles accused the Jews of killing Jesus whom God raised. When the Sanhedrin heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them. But Gamaliel, a pharisee and a popular teacher of the law intervened on behalf of the apostles. He cautioned the council members and prevailed on them not to kill the apostles, saying that if this plan is of men, it would fail; but if it is of God, they would not be able to overthrow the apostles. Gamaliel's advice was taken. The apostles were released after some flogging and warning that they should stop preaching in the name of Jesus.

(b) Different types of oppositions confronting the church today include:

(i) In some parts of the country and even in some schools, Christians are not allowed to preach publicly.

(ii) Also, church buildings are not allowed in some parts of the country.

(iii) Christians suffer open persecution, thereby leading to wanton destruction of lives and property.

(iv) There is discrimination against Christians in employment opportunities and promotions in public service.

(v) Christians are discriminated against in marriages and funeral ceremonies.

(vi) Christians are denied the freedom of worship and religious holidays
