My garden is as big as a football field.
<span>I am so hungry I could eat a horse
.I had a ton of chores to do.
<span>If I can't get a Smartphone, I will die.</span></span>

<u>Answer:</u>
No, the government under the Constitution does not have that ability now.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The early governments that were not bound by established rules could implement new decisions through their own conscience every other day.
- Such governments had given themselves the ability to conduct governance the way they thought was right for society.
- In other words, they had the ability to govern the governed without the consent of governed.
- This undue ability of the governments got limitations as the Constitution came into being.
