Unit 3 - The US Constitution

Which of the following principles of the Constitution is supported by the people electing representatives to serve in the government?

• Limited Government
• Popular Sovereignty
• Judicial Review
• Federalism

The term federalism is best described as the:

• division of power between the national government and state governments 
• creation of a two-house legislature in the national government 
• method of reviewing laws and executive actions 
• establishment of three branches of government

Antifederalists insisted that a bill of rights be added to the Constitution in order to:

• grant more power to Congress 
• provide a method of settling disputes between states 
• prevent states from denying individuals the right to vote 
• protect individual rights from the power of the federal government 

The third amendment to the Constitution was a direct reaction to:

• The failure of the Articles of Confederation to establish a strong national government
