Sovereignty in Historical Context for Self-Sovereign Identity - Natalie Smole...SSIMeetup
http://ssimeetup.org/sovereignty-historical-context-self-sovereign-identity-natalie-smolenski-webinar-18/
Natalie Smolenski is an anthropologist who leads business development for Learning Machine, a blockchain technology firm specializing in self-sovereign digital identity. As an author and public speaker, she focuses on the intersections of identity, technology, and government. By bringing a scientific perspective to distributed digital technologies and social transformation, she helps audiences from all backgrounds understand how individuals connect to form communities and build the infrastructures of the future.
This presentation reflects the first installment of a wider project examining the origins and potential of self-sovereign identity. While the term “self-sovereign identity” has become commonplace within digital identity circles and in the media, what it means in theory and in practice is hotly contested. In this project, Natalie examines various cultural, legal, and technical approaches to both sovereignty in general and self-sovereignty in particular in order to better understand what is being contested and why–and what the stakes are. This presentation kicks off the project with a historical overview of some of the approaches to and questions about sovereignty within the European (theologico-) political tradition and sets the stage for the next installment, which more closely examines the connection between sovereignty and value.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

2. I. Theories of Government
• Evolution Theory
– A population formed out of primitive
families. The heads of these families
became the government. When
these families settled in one
territory and claimed it as their
own, they became a sovereign state.
• Force Theory
– An individual or group claimed
control over a territory and forced
the population to submit. In this
way, the state became sovereign,
and those in control formed a
government.
3. Theories of Government
• Divine Right Theory
– God created the state, making it
sovereign. The government is made
up of those chosen by God to rule a
certain territory. The population
must obey their ruler.
• Social Contract Theory
– A population in a given territory
gave up as much power to a
government as needed to promote
the well-being of all. In doing so,
they created a sovereign state.
4. II. Contributions of the Greeks
• Athenian Democracy or Direct Democracy
– When: 508 BCE – 322 BCE
– What: Also called pure democracy
• Occurs when the will
of the people translates
directly into public policy
• Works only on a small,
• local level
– Where:
5. III. Contributions of the Romans
• Roman Republic
– When: 509 BCE – 27 BCE
– What:
– Classical Republicanism
• Civic virtue
• Moral education
• Small, uniform communities
6. So, what kind of government do we
have in the U.S. today?
7. English Origins of
American Government
The Magna Carta (1215)
- King John is forced to
sign by barons
- Included guarantees of
such fundamental
rights as trial by jury
and due process of law
- Protection against
absolute power
8. English Origins of
American Government
The Petition of Right (1628)
- King Charles I signed, by
force of the Parliament
- Limited king’s power
- May not impose martial law
- Can not force quartering
- Punish only be laws of the land
- Questioned Divine Right
No man should be
“compelled to make or yield any gift, loan,
benevolence, tax, or such like charge,
without common consent by act of
parliament.”
9. English Government –
Parliament Arrives
• Parliament was a council of
nobility created to advise the
monarch.
• History of hostility between
parliament and monarch.
• Parliament = House of Lords
+ House of Commons
• House of Lords- nobility
• House of Commons - wealthy
and people of standing in
community-knights,
merchants, craftsmen.
10. English Origins of
American Government
The English Bill of Rights (1689)
- Signed by William and Mary
of Orange during the Glorious
Revolution
- Prohibited a standing army in
peace time
- Required free parliamentary
elections
12. John Locke’s Natural Rights
Philosophy
• State of Nature
• Natural Rights
• Human Nature
• Purpose of
Government
• Social Contract
Theory
13. Pure Democracy and
Crowdsourcing
• What is
crowdsourcing?
– Definition
– Examples
14. Pure Democracy and
Crowdsourcing
• Pros of Delegating
Decision-making:
– Efficient
– Expert quality
• Pros of Pure Democracy:
– Equality
– Representational quality
15. Who should decide?
• The Math: Condorcet's jury theorem
• One of the two outcomes of the vote is correct, and each
voter has an independent probability p of voting for the
correct decision. The theorem asks how many voters we
should include in the group. The result depends on
whether p is greater than or less than 1/2:
• If p is greater than 1/2 (each voter is more likely than not to
vote correctly), then adding more voters increases the
probability that the majority decision is correct. In the limit,
the probability that the majority votes correctly approaches 1
as the number of voters increases.
• On the other hand, if p is less than 1/2 (each voter is more
likely than not to vote incorrectly), then adding more voters
makes things worse: the optimal jury consists of a single
voter.
16. Testing the theory
• Divide in half making 2 teams for chess
• One team will vote on a representative to make
all their decisions
• The other will vote each day on their move.
• If the “pure democracy” team wins, voters were
more likely than not to make the correct decision
and more voters creates better results.
17. Questions to Consider
• Should we all vote on more decisions?
• Which branch of government would most
appropriately be replaced by this system?
• What are the problems with a pure
democracy in America?
