I disagree with both your answers. Our U.S. Constitution is an attempt to keep government fair, others may not be, by our definition. It depends on how one defines "fair".
Rethink the answer to the second question, too. Is it "most" powers?
Thanks, I changed the second answer to B and got them both right.

To check the answers, we will go through the options and see which one best matches the question being asked.
1. Which statement best explains why nation-states write constitutions?
A: Constitutions give citizens unlimited powers.
B: Constitutions establish nation-states.
C: Constitutions allow governments to elect leaders.
D: Constitutions help keep government fair.
Based on the question, the correct answer is D: Constitutions help keep government fair. This is because the purpose of a constitution is to establish the fundamental principles and rules for governing a nation-state. It outlines the powers and limitations of the government and ensures fair treatment and protection of citizens' rights.
2. To which system of government is the federal system most similar to?
A: Unitary system, because both place most powers with the legislature.
B: Confederal system, because both split laws between the state and national governments.
C: Unitary system, because both concentrate power in the national government.
D: Confederal system, because both give most electoral powers to the state government.
Based on the question, the correct answer is B: Confederal system, because both split laws between the state and national governments. In a federal system, power is divided between a central/national government and several regional governments (such as states or provinces). Similarly, in a confederal system, power is divided between independent states or regions and a central authority. Both systems distribute powers between the central and regional governments, although the exact distribution may differ.
