First Question:
The Constitution's ability to be amended reflects the social contract principle. A social contract implies a flexible agreement (the Constitution) that can adapt to changing needs, unlike the other options: Federalism is about power division, Popular sovereignty is about people's rule, and Judicial review is about court's power to review laws.
Taxing colonists without representation violated their natural rights (like the right to consent to taxation). The other actions (dissolving legislatures, stationing troops, suspending jury trials) were grievances but not directly tied to natural rights argument as taxation without representation was, which related to the right to be represented in governance.
The Articles of Confederation couldn't regulate currency. The Constitution gave Congress the power to coin money, solving this. Allowing states to negotiate treaties is not about currency, term limits for President and amendment process don't relate to currency regulation.
