could someone check my answers please?
for the first one I chose C and the second one I choose A
Which power of state legislatures is being described in this excerpt from the textbook?
In short, that extraordinarily broad authority is the power to safeguard the welfare of the people of the state, and it is the basis for much of what state legislatures do.
A. the apportionment power
B. the constituent power
C. the police power
D. the statutory power
What point is the excerpt making about the powers and limitation of state governors?
The presidency and the governorship are very similar in several ways, but the comparison can be pushed too far. Remember, the Constitution of the United states makes the president the executive in the national government. State constitution on the other hand regularly describe the govern as the chief executive in the states government.
a. state governors have the same authority and powers as the president of the United States, since that state modeled their government on the U.S. federal government.
b.state governors have less authority and fewer powers than the president, since state government divide executive power among several office
c.state governors have greater authority and more powers than the president since governors are describe as the chief executive not just the executive

(someone might need to check that, sorry >*<)
To check your answers for the first question:
The excerpt states, "that extraordinarily broad authority is the power to safeguard the welfare of the people of the state." Based on this information, we can determine that the power being described is related to safeguarding the welfare of the people. From the given options, the most appropriate choice would be C. the police power, as the police power of state legislatures allows them to promote and protect the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the public.
To check your answer for the second question:
The excerpt states that "State constitution[s] on the other hand regularly describe the governor as the chief executive in the state's government." This implies that the point being made is that state governors have a role as the chief executive in state government. From the given options, the most accurate choice would be c. state governors have greater authority and more powers than the president since governors are described as the chief executive, not just the executive.
While I have provided explanations for these questions, it's important to note that I cannot guarantee the accuracy of your answers without seeing the full context of the questions and options provided.
