- A democracy.
- A single-party state.

2. Question
Article IV, section 4 pledges the federal government to protect states against invasion. What does this mean?
- If a state is invaded, the federal government must come to the state’s defense, after all, this is the primary reason why the states created the federal government.
- If a state is invaded, the federal government must come to the state’s defense, unless a state has seceded, in which case the federal government may invade and attack.
- If a state is invaded, the federal government must negotiate with other states that will send their militias in defense of the invaded state.
- The Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government has no such responsibility.

Question 3 of 4

3. Question
In the Supremacy Clause of Article VI, the Constitution and all laws made “in pursuance thereof” are the supreme law of the land. What does this mean?
- If Congress passes a law and the president signs it, it is binding law. Period.
- A law passed by Congress is only supreme if it does not violate the constitutions of the states.
- The phrase “in pursuance thereof” means that if Congress passes a “law” that is unconstitutional, and the president signs it, it is a usurpation of power, which is no law at all.
- The Supreme Court has since assumed the power of making supreme law.

Question 4 of 4

4. Question
Article VII of the Constitution, the last one, reads as follows: “The ratification of the conventions of nine states, shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the states so ratifying the same.” Is this secession from the union under the Articles of Confederation?
- Yes. Obviously.
- No, because secession is treason and this wasn’t treason.
- Yes, but it is legal because most of the states agreed to it fairly quickly.
- Yes, but it went forward anyway because no state decided to invade and fight over it.
