Explanation:

• Question 9: The U.S. Constitution has a Preamble, 7 articles (which outline the structure of the government, relations between states, etc.), and 27 amendments (including the Bill of Rights as the first 10). The Declaration of Independence is a separate document.
• Question 10: Checks and balances is the system where each branch (executive, legislative, judicial) can limit the powers of the other two. Popular sovereignty is about the people being the source of government power, federalism is about the division of power between national and state governments, and limited government is about government having restricted powers (often via a constitution).
• Question 11: Federalism specifically means the division of power between a national (federal) government and state governments. Guaranteeing basic rights relates more to concepts like the Bill of Rights, “most power with national government” is not federalism (federalism is about sharing power), and people as the source of power is popular sovereignty.
• Question 12: Popular sovereignty (implied in the options by elimination as other concepts don’t fit) means government can govern only with the consent of the governed. Judicial review is the power of courts to review laws, and federalism is about power - sharing between levels of government.
