Question

Which of the following makes a true statement about the Constitution and the government?

Answer 1

It shares the government's power but gives final authority to the individual state governments.

It distributes the government's power between three branches that all answer to the president.

It limits the government's power through listing its responsibilities and including a bill of rights.

It reflects the principle of majority rule by having elections on each major legislative policy change.

Answer 2

I wont give you the answer! But I will help. Think about the Constitution? What does it do? It "Constitutes" a set of guidelines of our country. Its the manual or handbook. All laws are generated from it.

Answer 3

The third. The Constitution itself is the final authority, via the Supremacy Clause, so the first is out. The three branches are co-equal, and none answer to the other, so the second is out. The fourth is out because it describes direct democratic rule, plebiscites and referenda and such, and the Constitution makes no provision for that.
