To determine the answers, one would need to have a basic understanding of the U.S. Constitution and its principles. The first option is incorrect because the judicial system is not controlled by the legislature; it is a separate branch that operates independently. The second option is correct because one of the core principles of the U.S. system is the separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, allowing them to keep each other in check. The third option is also correct because the Constitution outlines the division of powers between the federal government and the states, with powers not specifically given to the federal government being reserved for the states. The fourth option is incorrect because while citizens have representation in each branch of government, it is not necessarily equal representation. The fifth option is incorrect as well; the federal government determines the fundamental rights of citizens through the Constitution, although state governments also have the ability to provide additional protections. Finally, the sixth option is correct because the federal government typically needs the approval of the states to join international organizations or make significant foreign policy decisions.
