under the principle of federalism, a proposed written constitution divides the government into 2 different levels. what are they and who holds the most authority? select

Explanation:

1. Ancient Greek democracy's core principle of citizen participation through elected representatives (a republican/representative system) is mirrored in the U.S. government's structure of elected officials.
2. John Locke's social contract theory argued that citizens have the right to overthrow or replace a government that fails to protect their natural rights.
3. The Virginia Bill of Rights, which outlined specific citizen protections, directly inspired the U.S. Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution.
4. Federalism in the U.S. splits government into national (federal) and state levels; the federal government holds supreme authority per the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

Answer:

1. Representative government (or the principle of elected officials/citizen representation)
2. overthrow (or replace, dissolve)
3. Bill of Rights
4. The two levels are the national (federal) government and state governments; the national (federal) government holds the most authority.
