Question

while the federal government makes laws that apply everywhere in the country, state governments make laws that only apply to those states. like the federal government, each state has its own constitution that outlines the structure of its state government. these constitutions also describe the rights and freedoms of the people who live in that state. below are three common parts of most state constitutions. match each example from a specific state constitution to the part of the state constitution it comes from. minnesota constitution: the term of office for the governor and lieutenant governor is four years. each will be at least 25 years old. texas constitution: all persons may freely speak, write, and publish their opinions on all subjects, as long as they don’t abuse that right. california constitution: we, the people of the state of california, grateful for our freedom, in order to secure and protect its benefits, do establish this constitution. • part of state constitutions summarized example from state constitutions a preamble, or introduction, to the constitution that states the goals of the constitution a description of the duties and requirements of different state officials a list of the rights that people of that state are guaranteed

Explanation:

To solve the matching:

1. For the "Preamble" part (states goals of the constitution), the California Constitution example ("We, the people... do ordain this Constitution") matches as it's an introductory statement of goals.
2. For "Description of duties/requirements of state officials", the Minnesota Constitution example (term and age for governor/lg) matches as it details official roles.
3. For "List of people’s rights", the Texas Constitution example (freedom of speech) matches as it guarantees a right.

Answer:

• Preamble (goals of constitution) ↔ California Constitution: "We, the people of the State of California... do ordain this Constitution"
• Description of duties/requirements of state officials ↔ Minnesota Constitution: "The term of office for the governor and lieutenant governor is four years. Each will be at least 25 years old."
• List of the rights that people of that state are guaranteed ↔ Texas Constitution: "All persons may freely speak, write, and publish their opinions on all subjects, as long as they don’t abuse that right."
