Explanation:

• Question 5: According to the U.S. Constitution, amendments can be proposed by a two - thirds vote of both houses of Congress. The President, federal judges, and governors do not have the sole power to propose constitutional amendments in the way described in the other options.
• Question 6: The courts influence the meaning of the Constitution through judicial review. Judicial review allows courts (especially the Supreme Court) to determine the constitutionality of laws and actions. Conventions are more about unwritten practices, the Executive Cabinet is part of the executive branch, and the Electoral College is related to presidential elections.
• Question 7: The introduction to the Constitution is called the Preamble. A declaration is a general statement (like the Declaration of Independence), an article is a main division of the body of the Constitution, and an amendment is a change to the Constitution.
• Question 8: The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution includes “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty”. Preserving the Articles of Confederation is not a provision of the Preamble as the Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation.

Answer:

• Question 5: A two - thirds vote of Congress
• Question 6: Through judicial review
• Question 7: Preamble
• Question 8: Preserving the Articles of Confederation
