You're welcome, Ariel.

Which is true about the roles of lieutenant governor and vice president?

Both are always elected separately from the chief executive. Lieutenant governors have more power than the vice president.
Lieutenant governors are subject to stricter term limits than the vice president. No answer is correct.

To answer the first question, you need to understand the roles of lieutenant governor and vice president. The lieutenant governor is typically the second-highest executive office in a state government and is elected separately from the chief executive (usually the governor). On the other hand, the vice president is the second-highest executive office in the federal government and is elected in conjunction with the president. From this information, you can eliminate options a) and c) because they are inaccurate. To determine the correct answer, you should compare the powers of the lieutenant governor and the vice president. It is generally accepted that the vice president has more power than the lieutenant governor, as the vice president assumes the role of the president in case of incapacity or death. Therefore, the correct answer is b) "Lieutenant governors have more power than the vice president."

Moving on to the second question, you need to know how the Founding Fathers felt about political parties. To get to the answer, you could eliminate options c) and d) because they do not accurately reflect the Founding Fathers' views. Next, consider the words "cautious" and "enthusiastic." Based on historical knowledge, it is known that the Founding Fathers were wary of political parties as they believed partisan politics would divide the nation. Consequently, the best word to describe their feelings would be a) "Cautious."

For the third question, you are being asked to identify the party that supported state's rights and the common man. To answer this, you should have an understanding of the different parties during the early years of the United States. The Federalist Party advocated for a strong central government, which does not align with the given description. The Democratic-Republican Party, however, focused on states' rights and championing the common man, making it the correct answer (b).

Lastly, the fourth question asks you to identify the purpose NOT served by political parties in the United States. To deduce the correct option, you should evaluate each choice and eliminate the one that is not a purpose of political parties. Choosing the Dean of the House of Representatives (option a) is not a purpose of political parties, as this role is determined by seniority within the House. Facilitating coordination in government (option b), disseminating public information (option c), and choosing and vouching for candidates (option d) are common roles of political parties. Therefore, the correct answer is c) "Disseminating public information."
