Question

5 a state has sovereignty when it is able to do which of the following? a invade and take over any other state b occupy a particular area of land c punish its citizens for any action d freely create and enforce laws

Explanation:

Sovereignty refers to a state's supreme and independent power. It includes the ability to make and enforce laws within its territory without external interference. Option A violates international law and the sovereignty of other states. Option B just describes occupation, not sovereignty. Option C is wrong as states cannot punish citizens arbitrarily. Option D correctly represents a key aspect of a state's sovereignty - the power to create and enforce laws freely within its jurisdiction.

Answer:

D. Freely create and enforce laws
