Georgia's royal governors attempted to implement a government of self-rule within the colony.
Explanation:
The term popular sovereignty was derived from the fact that the sovereignty offered to the people of the royal colony of Georgia was completely what they sought for themselves.
The governors appointed by the king to look after the colony asked the colonists about their idea of governance and implemented it in the actual way of day-to-day governance.
All of this happened with the prior permission of the king.
