It's the constitutional difference between the US and the UK. "The state has rights onto the people" means there are some things the government simply cannot do legally and cannot change without rewriting its constitution. In the UK, parliament can do anything it wants, period. In practice it doesn't make a difference, but in history it's a huge difference between the language of the two governments.

Edit to make it more explicit: The idea of parliament doing anything by permission of the voters is an incredibly un-British one. Parliament does not govern by permission of the voters, it governs by royal prerogative. It governs because it is sovereign. It needs no permission from voters now, nor has it ever.

I think you've got solicitor and barrister a bit confused (ignoring solicitor advocates for now).
Lawyers interpret, represent and manipulate statute, caselaw and the "facts" for their clients. Both caselaw and statute are freely published, and the case law is far more fruity.

Anyone can learn the law. Few can "make use of" the facts to establish a winning case. Concentrate on getting acquainted with the world and how it really works for that insight.
Travel and being among their peoples will help enormously - why people put themselves in situations (forming a business, falsely accused of a crime, protecting something of "value" against the state and other people).
