Gustavo Blanchard · Answer 1

Popular sovereignty has to do with the people choosing who they want to lead the government. It does not have to do with vetoing a bill or regulating trade. Therefore, C and D are eliminated. People don't have that big of a power to alter the government. It has to do with the government being set up as a constitutional republic, because the people have the right to choose their leaders and who represents them. The answer is A.
