• limited government
• republicanism
• popular sovereignty

Which group was responsible for answering these questions?

Those who agreed with this point of view were known as -

• Minutemen

• Federalists
• Patriots

Match the following

• Popular Sovereignty

• People have the ultimate authority

• Republicanism

• Power is shared between national and state government

• Federalism

• People vote for representatives to rule on their behalf

The term separation of powers in the U.S. government refers to separate powers given to

• the president and the Cabinet.
• the Senate and the House of Representatives
• the federal, state, and local levels.
• the executive, legislative, and judicial branches

One reason the Federalists supported ratification of the Constitution is because it --

• prevented tyranny by giving state governments more power than the federal government.

• gave the federal government enough power to unify the nation but also provided checks and balances to protect individuals.

• focused on protecting the rights of only wealthy, urban city-dwellers by limiting property ownership for farmers.

• declared America's independence from Great Britain and prevented England from reclaiming the colonies.
