Question

q21
how does the constitution reflect the principle of popular sovereignty?
(1 point)
○ by implementing safeguards against the abuse of power
○ by limiting the amount of power of the government
○ by allowing the people to choose their representatives
○ by placing protections on the civil rights of the nations citizens

Explanation:

Popular sovereignty means the people are the source of governmental power. Allowing people to choose their representatives (through elections) is a direct reflection of this principle, as it gives the people the ability to select those who will govern on their behalf. The other options relate to checks on power (first option), limiting government power (second), or civil rights protection (fourth), which are different principles (like limited government, civil liberties) rather than popular sovereignty.

Answer:

C. by allowing the people to choose their representatives
