Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The US Constitution did not originally allow for direct election of senators, it wasn't until the 17th amendment which gave citizens the right to directly elect their senators.

One of the main points of creating the Constitution rather than using the Articles of Confederation was that the federal government was too weak; they could not effectively declare war, levy taxes, or create a military.

The Constitution does not reference any political parties because the founding fathers originally intended for politics to be bipartisan. George Washington in his farewell address, actually discouraged the creation of political parties.

This leaves us with the answer choice of C. The Constitution gives Congress the power to create laws, levy taxes, and declare war, checked and balanced by the executive branch who approves and enforces the laws, and the judicial branch who interprets the laws.
