The correct response is: The emir of Kuwait is more powerful because he is supported by a constitution.
This response reflects the fact that Kuwait's emir operates within a constitutional framework, which offers a different structure and balance of power compared to the absolute monarchy of Saudi Arabia. The other options either mischaracterize the roles of the leaders or inaccurately describe the systems of governance in both countries.
