As to the divisibility of sovereign power, see Bryce’s Studies in History and Jurisprudence, II., p. 70: “Legal sovereignty is divisible, i.e., different branches of it may be concurrently vested in different persons or bodies, co-ordinate altogether, or co-ordinate partially only, though acting in different spheres.” For a statement of the contrary opinion see Brown, Austinian Theory of Law, p. 174.
