Explanation:

Question 1

The statement is about voters electing members of Congress to create and pass laws. Popular Sovereignty is the principle that the authority of a government is created and sustained by the consent of its people, through their elected representatives. So this fits Popular Sovereignty.

The statement says the government’s power is restricted by laws and the Constitution. In a Republican system (or in the US context), the government's power is limited by the Constitution and laws, so this relates to Republicanism (and also limited government, but the option here is Republicanism among the choices? Wait, the options are Popular Sovereignty, Republicanism, Unlimited Government. Wait, no—wait the options for each are Popular Sovereignty, Republicanism, Unlimited Government? Wait no, looking at the image, for question 2, the options are to circle one of Popular Sovereignty, Republicanism, Unlimited Government. Wait, the statement is about government power being restricted by laws and the Constitution. So this is about limited government, but the options given—wait maybe I misread. Wait, the options for each question: for question 2, the options are Popular Sovereignty, Republicanism, Unlimited Government? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the options are Popular Sovereignty, Republicanism, Limited Government? But the image shows "Unlimited Government" as an option. Wait, no—let me re - examine. The user's image: for question 2, the options are "Circle ONE: Popular Sovereignty, Republicanism, Unlimited Government". Wait, but the statement is about government power being restricted. So "Unlimited Government" is wrong. So maybe the correct option is Republicanism? Wait, Republicanism emphasizes the people's role in government through representatives and also the limitation of government power by law. So the correct option is Republicanism? Wait, no—Popular Sovereignty is about people's rule, Republicanism is about representative government with limited power. So the statement is about government power being restricted, so the principle is related to Republicanism (since in a republic, the government's power is limited by the constitution and laws). So we circle Republicanism.

The quote is from the Declaration of Independence, “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” This is the definition of Popular Sovereignty, as it states that government power comes from the consent of the people.

Answer:

Circle ONE: Popular Sovereignty
