during the vietnam war, citizens protested because the government denied draft - eligible males their suffrage (or right to vote). the government responded by amending the constitution to lower the voting age to 18. which constitutional principle does this reflect?

• separation of powers
• judicial review
• limited government
• popular sovereignty

Explanation:

Question 9

The President as Chief Legislator has the power to influence the legislative process, including promoting bills (like the Affordable Care Act) and working with Congress to pass them. Chief Diplomat relates to foreign relations, Commander in Chief to military, and Chief Citizen to representing the public. So the correct option is Chief Legislator.

Popular Sovereignty means the government's power comes from the people. The government amended the Constitution to give voting rights to draft - eligible males (responding to citizens' concerns), reflecting that the people's will influences government actions. Separation of Powers is about dividing government powers, Judicial Review is about courts reviewing laws, and Limited Government is about government having restricted powers. So the correct option is Popular Sovereignty.

Answer:

A. Chief Legislator
