Question

Read this passage from the U.S. Constitution:

Answer 1

The answer is C. Governments get their power from the people. (Apex)

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) The government gets their power from the people.

The US Constitution was developed after the failures of America's first constitution ( the Articles of Confederation). The goal of this new constitution was to develop a government structure in which the people had control. This is why the passage above uses the words "We the people.." This implies that the government is created by the people and it also implies that this is where the government gets their power from.
