Answer:

 <span>"Popular sovereignty is government based on the consent of the people. Government, established by free choice of the people, is expected to serve the people, who have sovereignty, or supreme power. 

Popular sovereignty is the basis of constitutional government in the United States. The U.S. Constitution clearly establishes government in the name of the people. The preamble says: “We the people of the United States… do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” 

Popular sovereignty was exercised according to Article 7 of the Constitution, which required that nine states approve the proposed frame of government before it could become the supreme law of the United States. The people chose representatives to ratification conventions who freely decided to approve the Constitution in the name of those who elected them. Popular sovereignty was also recognized in Article 5 of the Constitution, which provides for amendments to the Constitution through decisions by elected representatives of the people. Finally, popular sovereignty is reflected in Article 1, which requires that representatives to Congress be elected by the people. 

Popular sovereignty, or government by the people, implies majority rule. People elect representatives in government by majority vote, and these representatives of the people make laws by majority vote."

Why did conservatives oppose the new deal? a. They thought Roosevelt was not doing enough to provide relief. b. They believed it
yuradex [85]

The correct answer is B) They believed it gave the government too much power in the economy.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal Program was meant to help America recover from the Great Depression. One way in which Roosevelt wanted to accomplish this was by creating several different federal work programs. This includes programs like the Works Progress Administration, Civilian Conservation Corp, etc.

However, conservatives felt that the economy works best when the government has little involvement. This is why they opposed these federal programs.
