    • It said all men are created equal.

    Correct Answer
    A. It sets up the government.
    Explanation
    The Constitution sets up the government. This document outlines the structure and powers of the government, including the three branches - legislative, executive, and judicial. It establishes the system of checks and balances, defines the rights and responsibilities of the government and its citizens, and provides a framework for governing the country. While the Constitution does not specifically address the issue of slavery or state that all men are created equal, it does provide the basis for ensuring equal protection under the law and has been used as a tool to fight for civil rights and equality.

    We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years?

    • Four

    • Six

    • Two

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    A U.S. Representative is elected for a term of two years. This is specified in the United States Constitution, which states that members of the House of Representatives shall be chosen every second year by the people of each state. This shorter term is intended to ensure that representatives remain accountable to their constituents and that the House of Representatives, as a whole, can more quickly respond to the changing needs and sentiments of the American people.
