Answer 2

2. The correct answer here is the option B.
The main critique of the Constitution in those early days before and just after its ratification was that the federal government would have too much power, and people feared that it would abuse that power as the British government did. Thus the bill of rights guaranteed the rights of the people that the federal government could not infringe.

3. The correct answer here is the option B, again.
Basically in a parliamentary government there wouldn't be much conflict between the executive branch and the legislative branch as the executive branch is also a part of the parliament which itself is the legislature. The executive branch draws legitimacy from the legislative branch but it also has to answer to it.

4. Thomas Hobbes is talking there about his theory of a social contract. People would cede some power so that the others would cede theirs and thus create laws that will govern human interaction and a contract between the governed and the those who govern.
