A. free and fair elections
B. A written constitution
C. Socialization through education
D. layers of government

Answer 1

The answer of this question is D Because the government is spread out between different groups.

Answer 2

Federal government by definition is a type of government in which power is shared between the central government and individual states, provinces, etc. The characteristic of a federal government is probably a written constitution because in order for the government to be centralized, a written constitution must be agreed upon the different states.

Answer 3

I like your reasoning @Nurali. There is a good chance it's written down somewhere. But if there is only one correct answer, it would be the layer thing.
That's the problem with multiple choice questions. They don't allow you to show you're thinking. And thinking is the best attribute of a good historian.
