Hint READ THIS FIRST
#2 is B
You're right!
To answer question 1, we can refer to the preamble of the United States Constitution. The preamble states:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."
From the preamble, we can see that goals listed are "to ensure domestic tranquility," "to provide for the common defense," and "to secure the blessings of liberty." So, the correct answer is D, all of the above goals are listed in the preamble.
To answer question 2, we need to refer to the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Fifth Amendment states:
"No person shall be... subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb..."
This means that Mr. Daly is protected from a second trial by Amendment 5 because of the principle of double jeopardy, which prohibits a person from being tried again for the same crime after being found innocent. So, the correct answer is B, no person can be put on trial for the same crime twice (double jeopardy).
To answer question 3, we need to understand the process of how cabinet officers are chosen. Cabinet officers are appointed by the President, but their appointments are subject to confirmation by the Senate. This means that the President selects individuals to become cabinet officers, but their appointment needs to be approved by the Senate before they can assume office. So, the correct answer is B, by the President with the consent of the Senate.
To answer question 4, we need to refer to the requirements for becoming a senator as outlined in the United States Constitution. According to Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution, a person must be at least 30 years old, have been a citizen of the United States for at least nine years, and be an inhabitant of the state they wish to represent at the time of their election. Since Dr. Bremer has only been a citizen for 7 years, she does not meet the requirement of being a citizen for at least 9 years. So, the correct answer is C, she has not been a citizen for at least 9 years.
To answer question 5, we need to understand the expressed powers of Congress. Expressed powers are specifically listed in the United States Constitution. The power to tax, borrow money, and coin money are all expressed powers of Congress. On the other hand, the power to declare laws unconstitutional is not an expressed power of Congress; it is the power of the judicial branch, specifically the Supreme Court. So, the correct answer is D, to declare laws unconstitutional.
To answer question 6, we need to refer to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Amendment 1 grants several freedoms, including the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and the freedom of assembly. Therefore, none of the freedoms mentioned in the options are excluded in Amendment 1. So, the correct answer is D, none of the above.
To answer question 7, we need to refer to the structure of the United States Constitution. The legislative branch is covered in Article 1 of the Constitution. Article 1 establishes the Congress, which is the legislative branch of the federal government. So, the correct answer is A, Article 1.
