Explanation:

Analyze George Washington's legacy

We evaluate each option for Question 13 to find what was NOT part of his legacy:

• Virginia landowner: True, he owned Mount Vernon.
• Often did not participate in the debates at the Constitutional Convention: True, as president of the convention, he rarely spoke to maintain neutrality.
• Wrote the Virginia Plan: False. The Virginia Plan was drafted by James Madison, though presented by Edmund Randolph.
• Believed that the Articles of Confederation were weak: True, he strongly advocated for a stronger national government.
• Commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War: True.
• Presided over the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia: True.

Define shared authority between governments

For Questions 14 and 15, we define the system where power is divided and shared between a national government and state governments:

• Federalism: The division of power between national and state levels.
• Separation of powers: Division of responsibilities into distinct legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
• Confederation: A union of sovereign states where the central government is weak.
• Checks and balances: System ensuring that no single branch of government becomes too powerful.

Therefore, the correct concept is Federalism.
