Question 19 • US History

Which of these is the best example of popular sovereignty as referred to in the Constitution?

Answer
A
voting for representatives
B
having checks and balances
C
having a three-branch government
D
serving on a jury

Explanation

Popular sovereignty means that the people are the source of government power. Voting for representatives lets citizens choose who will govern them, so it is the best example. A three-branch government and checks and balances describe how government is structured, while serving on a jury is civic participation but does not show popular sovereignty as directly.
