Question

the u.s. constitution placed limitations on popular rule in which of the following ways? having the president elected by the electoral college limiting the right to vote to only natural - born citizens of european descent having u.s. senators elected by the house of representatives having the president nominate federal judges having u.s. senators elected by state legislatures

Explanation:

1. The Electoral College system for electing the president means the people do not directly choose the president, limiting popular rule.
2. The Constitution did not limit the right to vote to only natural - born citizens of European descent, and this is an incorrect and discriminatory statement.
3. U.S. senators were originally elected by state legislatures (before the 17th Amendment), which was a way to limit direct popular influence on the Senate.
4. The president nominating federal judges is part of the system of checks and balances, but it is not a direct limitation on popular rule in the same sense as the other two valid options.

Answer:

• having the president elected by the Electoral College
• having U.S. senators elected by state legislatures
