1 answer

To provide an accurate response, I would need to see the statements you're considering regarding the structure of government outlined in the Constitution. However, I can provide a general overview of key features of the U.S. government's structure according to the Constitution:

  1. Separation of Powers: The government is divided into three branches: the Legislative Branch (Congress), the Executive Branch (headed by the President), and the Judicial Branch (the courts).

  2. Checks and Balances: Each branch of government has the ability to limit the powers of the other branches to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful.

  3. Federalism: The Constitution establishes a system of federalism, dividing power between the national government and the state governments.

  4. Bicameral Legislature: Congress is bicameral, consisting of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives.

  5. Representation: The House of Representatives is based on population, while the Senate provides equal representation with two senators from each state.

  6. Amendment Process: The Constitution includes a process for amendments, allowing for changes and adaptations over time.

Please provide the specific statements you would like to evaluate, and I can help identify which ones accurately reflect the structure of the government as outlined in the Constitution.
