The U.S. constitutional government is designed based on several key principles. From the given responses, the following options accurately reflect the design of the U.S. constitutional government:
- The three branches of government can check and balance each other.
- Powers not given to the federal government are reserved to the states.
The other options are not accurate representations of how the U.S. government is designed:
- The judicial system is independent and not controlled by the legislature.
- Each citizen does not have equal representation in each branch of government, as the composition of each branch is different (e.g., the Senate has two representatives from each state regardless of population).
- While state governments can determine certain rights, the federal government also plays a significant role in defining and protecting the rights of citizens.
- The federal government does not need the approval of states to join international organizations.
Therefore, the correct selections are the second and third statements.
- The three branches of government can check and balance each other.
