Question

select the correct answer.
which system did the new government created under the constitution use?
a. a unitary system with all power concentrated in a central government
b. a presidential system with a unicameral legislature
c. a confederation with a better - organized central government than under the articles of confederation
d. a totalitarian system
e. a federal republic

Explanation:

The US Constitution established a federal republic (E) where power is divided between federal and state governments. A unitary system (A) centralizes power, which the Constitution moved away from (after Articles of Confederation). A presidential system with unicameral legislature (B) is incorrect as the US has a bicameral legislature. A confederation with better - organized central government (C) is incorrect as the Confederation was weak, and the Constitution created a federal system, not a confederation. A totalitarian system (D) is incorrect as the US is a democratic republic, not totalitarian.

Answer:

E. a federal republic
