The individual, himself, or the accident of birth.
Most sovereigns are the heirs of guys who could swing a sword faster and better than the next guy. In other words, a king or queen can be descended from a guy who ascended to a throne by violent means.
To be honest, though, I don't think any true sovereign individuals exist anywhere in the world except, maybe, in a few primitive societies. Just about every king or queen in the world is subject to law just as everyone else.
Not persuasive. You and I see political power from 2 different views.
