Show answer
Answer
- A Popular sovereignty
- C Self-government
Explanation
The Preamble opens with "We the People": the power of government comes from the people. USCIS accepts self-government, popular sovereignty, consent of the governed, "people should govern themselves" and (example of) social contract. The Constitution replaced precisely the league of sovereign states under the Articles of Confederation.
