What are the three fundamental values on which the Declaration of Independence is based?
To confirm whether the statement "The Constitution gives sovereignty only to the national government" is correct, we can refer to the United States Constitution itself.
To find the answer, you can follow these steps:
1. Access a reliable source that provides the complete and accurate text of the United States Constitution. The official website of the U.S. government, such as www.archives.gov, is a trustworthy resource.
2. Search or navigate to the relevant section or article of the Constitution that addresses sovereignty.
3. Read the specific section or article in question to determine whether it grants sovereignty exclusively to the national government.
Upon examination, you will find that the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly use the term "sovereignty." However, it does outline the power and authority granted to the national government, as well as the powers reserved for the states. The Constitution establishes a federal system where some powers are given to the national government (enumerated powers) while others are reserved for the states (reserved powers).
So, to answer your question, it is not accurate to say that the Constitution gives sovereignty exclusively to the national government. The Constitution creates a system where both the national government and the individual states have their own spheres of power and authority.
