Question 5 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

Which establishes the duties and responsibilities of state government?

Answer
A
the US Supreme Court
B
a state’s high court
C
the US Constitution
D
a state’s constitution

Explanation

A state’s constitution establishes the structure, powers, duties, and responsibilities of that state’s government. The U.S. Constitution sets up the federal government and defines its relationship with the states, rather than laying out each state government’s specific duties. Therefore, the correct choice is a state’s constitution.
