American Government and the Constitution Homework Thirteen Answers

Andrew B. U.S. Govt. and Constitution HW answers 12

1. Federalism is the system of government which we have today.

2. The three branches of the govt are the Judiciary, Legislative, and Executive. They check and balance each other by the way that the constituition was written.

3. One of the main controversies in the constitution is the issues of gun control. The constitution says that the individual has the right to keep and bear arms. Liberals try to twist this to be government that has the right.

5. I think the 2nd amendment, 4th amendment, and the 10th amendment are the most important parts of the constitution. The 2nd amendment establishes the right to possess guns. The 4th amendment protects from the government unlawfully searching or seizing anything. The 10th amendment defines the relationship between state and federal government, which is important because it keeps, or was meant to keep, state and federal governments equal.

(Notice the corrections in spelling made.)

6. The constitution limits the power of the state by keeping it in check with the federal government.

7. I think it was a mistake to add the 18th amendement. Although it may have prevented the illegal sale of alcohol. It seems to have limited trade that was legal. etc.
