This article examines the constitutional foundations of state sovereignty and popular sovereignty in Uzbekistan in the context of the revised Constitution, public administration reforms and contemporary constitutionalism. State sovereignty is considered as a fundamental legal institution that enables Uzbekistan to conduct independent domestic and foreign policy, preserve territorial integrity, protect the interests of the people and ensure the stability of the legal order. Popular sovereignty is interpreted as a constitutional principle according to which the people are the sole source of state power, while elections, referenda, representative bodies, public oversight and civil society institutions provide democratic legitimacy. The study emphasizes the significance of the Constitution adopted through the nationwide referendum of 30 April 2023 and Presidential Decree No. PF-21 of 16 February 2026, which continues the implementation of the country’s development priorities until 2030.
