The Principle of People's Sovereignty in the Presidential Appointment of the Head of the Nusantara Capital Authority should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The subsidiarity principle, which holds that issues should be addressed at the most immediate level consistent with their resolution, cannot by itself encapsulate the ontology and desirable outcomes of decentralization. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralization governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
