Answer 1

The first statement is correct: the Texas Bill of Rights lists protected liberties and addresses the principle of individual rights.

The others are incorrect:
- A veto is a check on the legislature (checks and balances/separation of powers), not popular sovereignty.
- Dividing government into three branches reflects separation of powers, not federalism (which divides power between national and state governments).
- Electing officials reflects popular sovereignty/democratic rule, not checks and balances.
