<u> B. It gives specific powers to the federal government.</u>
The United States Constitution grants specific powers and rights to the federal government, called "delegated powers", if it is not outlined in it, then the government should not do it. Furthermore, the Tenth Amendment establishes that all powers that aren't listed in the Constitution are granted to the people or the states. This way, it prevents conflict between federal and state government, and also prevents the government from abusing of its power.
Answer:
c. Both patricians and plebeians
Explanation:
At first, during the Ancient Roman Kingdom, and the Early Republic, the distinction of patricians and plebeians was more meaningful. Patricians were those who descended from noble families and had more wealth, while plebeians were everyone else.
However, as the Roman Republic expanded and progressed, many plebeians began to acquire wealth and political power.
By the mid-republic, there were landowners of both patrician and plebeian origin.
<u>"confirming that it is not an online source" </u>is wrong. The problem is not the fact the source is online, but if it's credible.
<u>"determining whether or not it is well-known" </u>well-known sources might still be wrong. Being known does not make something true.
<u>"d. determining whether it is a secondary source" </u>again, it has nothing at all to do with the validity of the source.
So the answer is:
b. checking its conclusions against other sources
The best way is to check the source and compare to different ones that talk about the same subject. Comparing different conclusions of different authors and seeing different points of view about the same thing is often the best way.
