Explanation:

The Bill of Rights (first ten amendments) was added to safeguard rights like freedom of speech, religion, etc., and to ease fears of those who were worried about the new federal government's potential to abuse power.

These are core principles of the U.S. Constitution. Federalism splits power between levels of government. Checks and Balances prevent one branch from dominating. Separation of Powers divides government into three branches. Individual Rights protect citizens. Limited Government restricts government power. Popular Sovereignty means power comes from the people.

In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court asserted its right to review the constitutionality of acts, which is a key power for the judicial branch to check other branches.

Federal powers are those given to the national government (enumerated or implied), while state powers are reserved (10th Amendment) or concurrent (shared, like taxation) in some cases, and they handle local/state - specific matters.

Answer:

(for question 7):
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and its purpose was to protect individual liberties and limit the power of the federal government, addressing concerns of anti - Federalists who feared an overly strong central government.
