Question

question #3
in the cartoon above, mr. d.c. (the man in the tri - corner hat) represents the district of columbia, the nation’s capital. which fundamental principle of the constitution is he most likely referencing with his statement?
○ limited government
○ checks and balances
○ rule of law
○ popular sovereignty

Explanation:

The cartoon involves the District of Columbia and voting rights. Popular sovereignty is the principle that the authority of a government is created and sustained by the consent of its people, often related to voting and who holds power. The other options: Limited government is about government power being restricted; Checks and balances is about branches checking each other; Rule of law is about everyone being subject to law. The "march to the voting booth" and DC's situation ties to popular sovereignty as it's about the people's role in governance (voting) and DC's lack of full voting rights (so the "slacker" comment relates to not having full participation in popular sovereignty - style governance).

Answer:

Popular sovereignty (the option with "Popular sovereignty" text, as per the choices: the fourth option in the list shown, labeled "Popular sovereignty").
