The correct answer is pork barrel spending.

Pork barrel spending ( sometimes called earmarking ) is a metaphor for <em>government's spending on localized projects in order to please or win voters in a representative's district.</em>

A politician promises his voters financial support for a project or investment, so that they vote for him in an election.

Pork barrel spending may help some bills pass through the legislative process, but it is usually considered a wasteful use of tax payers funds because it benefits selected constituencies of Congressional members and not the country as a whole.

Answer:

C. Constitution

Explanation:

After the American Revolution, the states created their own constitutions, as each state wanted to govern themselves differently.

They did not have their own presidents or monarchs, and instead put state power into the hands of the governor or assemblies.

These state constitutions regarded topics such as voting rights and what type of government each state had.

The constitutions also were inspired by the American Revolution, with ideals of freedom and equality.

So, the correct answer is C, constitution.
