Biography Læssøe became a lieutenant in an infantry regiment in 1830, was a student at the War College in 1832-1836 and was then employed in the general staff, where he was promoted to captain in 1842.

As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation.
