Popular sovereignty.
The Constitution is founded on rule by the people (see the Preamble, "We the People"), with authority derived from citizens through elections and representation. The other choices are incorrect: it limited state power rather than endorsing unlimited state government, and while it created a stronger federal government than the Articles, the core principle listed here is popular sovereignty; "selective equality" was not a foundational principle.
