Question

in what way did the constitutional convention promote the democratic ideal of popular sovereignty? by empowering citizens to directly elect members of the house of representatives; by restricting suffrage to white male property owners; by limiting the executive authority to the president; by granting basic freedoms such as the freedoms of speech and assembly

Explanation:

Popular sovereignty means that the power of the government comes from the people. Empowering citizens to directly elect members of the House of Representatives gives the people a say in government, promoting the democratic ideal of popular sovereignty. Restricting suffrage goes against it. Limiting executive authority is about separation - of - powers, not directly about popular sovereignty. Granting basic freedoms is important for individual rights but not the main way to promote popular sovereignty.

Answer:

By empowering citizens to directly elect members of the House of Representatives
