question 13 (1 point)
the framers chose federalism in order to
o a
unite citizens under one centralized federal government.
o b
create a workable compromise among the states to share power.
o c
create a national government while still preserving the rights of the states to govern themselves.
o d
leave all power to make laws with each state.

question 14 (1 point)
the framers of the constitution limited the powers of the national government by
o a
adding a clause which expressly prohibits the involvement of the national government in states except when invited.
o b
dividing power between the national government and the states.
o c
including a unique \limitations\ clause in the constitution.
o d
restricting federal powers to include only those which affect the nation as a whole.

Explanation:

• Question 13: Federalism was chosen to balance national and state power. Option a is incorrect as it's not a fully centralized government. Option b is too vague. Option d ignores the national government's role. Option c correctly reflects the balance (create a national government while preserving state self - governance).
• Question 14: The Framers limited national government power by dividing power (federalism). Option a is not how it was done. Option c is not the main way. Option d is not the key limiting factor. Option b (dividing power between national and state) is correct.

Answer:

Question 13: C. create a national government while still preserving the rights of the States to govern themselves.
Question 14: B. dividing power between the National Government and the States.
