The question (6 marks)
A newly independent country adopts a constitution which distributes legislative power between a central legislature and provincial legislatures, and in the same year accedes to a treaty organisation whose decisions bind its members. Two propositions are then advanced in its press: first, that the constitution has divided the country's sovereignty between two levels of government; second, that by acceding to the treaty organisation the country has surrendered its external sovereignty. Take a position on each proposition and defend it. (6 marks)
