Question

what do the three opening words of the preamble of the constitution emphasize? 9/15 that the people of the united states have the power the authority of the legislative branch the power of the individual state governments

Explanation:

The opening words of the U.S. Constitution's Preamble are "We the People", emphasizing that the power of the government comes from the people. Among the options, "That the people of the United States have the power" aligns with this idea (interpreting the emphasis on people's power). The other options: "The authority of the Legislative Branch" is about a government branch, not the preamble's opening emphasis; "The power of the individual state governments" goes against the federal and people - centered nature of the preamble's opening.

Answer:

The option "That the people of the United States have the power" (the top - most option in the provided choices).
