1 answer

Neither option A nor option D is accurate.

A more accurate statement is that both the state constitution and the U.S. Constitution establish the basic structure and principles of government. Both provide a framework for governing and outline the powers and limitations of the government. They also both contain provisions to protect individual rights and provide a system for amending the constitution.

However, there are significant differences between the two as well. While the U.S. Constitution is a federal document that applies to the entire country, each state has its own state constitution that only applies within its own borders. Additionally, the U.S. Constitution is considered the supreme law of the land, meaning that state constitutions cannot contradict it or infringe upon the rights it guarantees.
