Question

PLEASE HELP ME
The Constitution reflects the principle "republicanism" because it

required the first president to be from a specific political party

creates a national government that is supreme over the states

outlines a plan for government that limits the will of the people

divides the legislative branch into two houses of elected officials

Answer 1

Uh...weird. I can't say any of these really make a lot of sense. A "republic" is a government in which sovereignty (= the ultimate power to make decisions) rests with the people, and not with a king, or a royal family, with whomever owns or has conquered the land in question, or with God as intepreted by his priests, et cetera. The word "republic" comes from the Latin phrase "res publica" meaning "a matter of public concern" and signifies that government is a matter for the people to appoint.

A nation can be a "republic" as long as ultimate power comes from the people, which means, somehow or other, the people have the ultimate say over things. It may be a democracy, too, in which the people have control over even day to day matters, by some kind of direct rule, e.g. by having lots of votes on things. But that is unusual, except in very small organizations, like individual towns. Usually republics are representative republics, in which the people from time to time elect representatives, who then rule in their name. The United States and most western nations are representative republics. A republic can also be a constitutional representative republic, in which not only do the people elect representatives, but at one time or other the people sit down and draw up a written constitution, which limits what powers the representatives have even between elections. The US is a constitutional representative republic.

It isn't necessary for a representative republic to have two houses in its legislature, as the US does, but your last choice is probably the least wrong, because at least it refers to the necessity for the legislature to be elected (and not, for example, appointed by a king or council of priests).

Answer 2

i still cant find out answer bro

Answer 3

Them's the breaks. Pick the least awful answer choice, and then bring it up with your instructor. Exactly how does having two houses in the legislature relate to being a republic, hmm? You saying France is not a republic, despite its name?

If it helps you realize your instructors are occasionally wrong, or at least sloppy, and you therefore decide to take more personal charge of your education, then that's a positive outcome.
