Question

Which shared American value is reflected in both the United States Constitution and in America's government institutions?

Those who fail to exercise their rights as citizens may be stripped of them.
The executive branch of the government is supreme over the legislative and judicial branches.
The federal government receives its power from the state governments.
The people are the source of the government's power.

Answer 1

The correct answer is :

The people are the source of the government's power.

A government protects the rights of its people and people chose their representatives in government by means of elections. A government can only exist with the consent of the people, meaning that it takes its power from the very people who voted in an election or from people who live in a particular area and are being governed.
