The correct answer is B, as Manifest Destiny was the belief used to justify westward expansion of America's borders in the 1800s.

The doctrine of Manifest Destiny is a phrase and idea that expresses the belief that the United States of America is a nation destined to expand from the Atlantic coasts to the Pacific. This idea is also used by supporters to justify other territorial acquisitions. The supporters of this ideology believe that the expansion is not only good, but also obvious (manifest) and accurate. This ideology could be summarized in the phrase: "By the Divine or God's Authority".

<h3>2. the supreme law of the United States</h3>

In our country, anything decrees written within our United States documents such as the Constitution stand supreme over state laws or other state level decrees. Therefore federal law is the supreme law of the land.

<h3>3. implied</h3>

N/A

<h3>4. popular sovereignty </h3>

According to the philosophy of "popular sovereignty", the term itself states that it's the consent of the people to control their government [as the bottom line]. With this in mind, Sandra is exercises her popular sovereignty by choosing who she wants her officials to be, hence the ownership in her own decision.

<h3>5. State Government</h3>

Certain individuals favor giving the national government more power but foresee potential power-hungry acts to come out of this. Most people to this day still agree that state governments should take more of a role in the central government.

<h3>6. Implied</h3>

Our government needed flexibility in creating their own powers to execute organized and substantial actions for our country- implied powers DO NOT appear on the constitution, so notice in the name itself elastic, meaning stretch, or even "necessary and proper" which could mean what is NEEDED for something to happen.

<h3>7. The Constitution is the document which outlines the plan of government of the United States including three branches of government and a system of federalism. </h3>

The other options are far-fetched and invalid. The constitution outlines our government with how it should operate.

<h3>8. Checks and Balances</h3>

In the situation where one branch, in this case executive (since its the president), makes a veto that is unfair or merely bias, the other branches can balance this out and overrule it for the better of its people. No branch shall be more powerful than another!
