Explanation:

Question 21

• Analyze Option a: The U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 1 has a Congress with Senate and House (bicameral). New York State Constitution Article III, Section 2 has Senate and Assembly (bicameral). So bicameral legislature matches.
• Option b: Neither article focuses on president.
• Option c: Neither article is about judiciary.
• Option d: "Elected assembly" is too vague; the key is bicameral structure, not just elected bodies.

• Option c (federalism): Federalism is the division of power between national and state governments. Both U.S. (national) and New York State (state) have constitutions, showing power division between levels, which is federalism.
• Option a (popular sovereignty): Focuses on people's rule, not shown here.
• Option b (limited government): Focuses on government power limits, not the dual constitutions.
• Option d (Republicanism): Focuses on representative government, not the dual - level governance shown.

Answer:

a. bicameral legislature
