Question

1. the idea of popular sovereignty, expressed in the u.s. constitution, influenced the government by--

giving states the right to secede at will
placing political authority in the hands of the people
allowing the supreme court to hold all power
limiting citizens’ role in choosing leaders
clear all

Explanation:

Popular sovereignty is the core principle that political power originates from and belongs to the people. The U.S. Constitution embodies this by establishing systems like elections that place authority in citizens' hands. The other options contradict this: states do not have a right to secede at will, the Supreme Court does not hold all power (separation of powers exists), and the principle expands rather than limits citizens' role in choosing leaders.

Answer:

Placing political authority in the hands of the people
