Following are the three basic principles upon which the new system of government was created:

1. Popular Sovereignty - This principle states that the source of governmental power lies with the people. This belief stems from the idea that government should be for the benefit of its citizens. If the government is not protecting the people, it should be dissolved.
2. Limited Government - Since the people give government its power, government itself is limited to the power given to it by them. In other words, the US government does not derive its power from itself. It must follow its own laws and it can only act using powers given to it by the people.
3. Separation of Powers - As stated previously, the US Government is divided into three branches so that no one branch has all the power. Each branch has its own purpose: to make the laws, execute the laws, and interpret the laws. </span>
The quote "The United States in Congress assembled shall never engage in a war, not grant letters of marque or reprisal in a time of peace, nor enter into any treaties or alliances, unless nine states assent to the same" reflects the principle of federalism. The correct answer is A.
The chief executive officers of the Roman Republic were the consuls and praetors. Two consuls were chosen annually and they administered the government and led the Roman army into battle.
On 366 BC, a new office was created , that of the praetor. The praetor could govern Rome when the consuls were away from the city and could also lead armies. The praetor's primary function however was the execution of justice. He was in charge of the civil law as it applied to Roman citizens.
