Question 1 • FL-2106010-M/J Civics

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Answer
A
The Articles of Confederation were weak and allowed the states too much governing power.
B
Before the implementation of the Constitution, the national government focused its attention on foreign affairs.
C
Everyone—Congress, state governments, and judges—must follow the laws set forth in the Constitution, but the president does not have to.
D
The states relinquished some amount of sovereignty in order to comply with the laws set forth in the Constitution.

Explanation

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and its rules bind the president as well as Congress, state governments, and judges. Therefore, statement C is false because it incorrectly says the president does not have to follow the Constitution. The other statements accurately describe the weak national government under the Articles of Confederation and the states giving up some sovereignty under the Constitution.
