Question

the constitutional principles of limited government and popular sovereignty apply to
the federal government alone.
federal, state, and local governments.
federal and local governments only
federal and state governments only.

Explanation:

Limited government means that government power is restricted, and popular sovereignty means that the people are the ultimate source of power. In the United States (assuming a context like the US where these principles are relevant), these principles apply across different levels of government. The federal government is not the only one bound by these. Local governments, which are closer to the people in some ways, also operate under the idea that their power is limited (by laws, constitutions etc.) and that they derive power from the people (popular sovereignty). State governments similarly have limited powers (e.g., they can't make laws that violate the federal constitution in relevant aspects) and their authority is based on the consent of the people within the state. So it's not just federal, or federal - local, or federal - state.

Answer:

federal, state, and local governments.
