Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Question 25: The Mayflower Compact was a self - governing agreement. The U.S. Constitution also sets up a system of governance. The Declaration of Independence is about independence from Britain. The Magna Carta is a medieval English document about rights. The Bill of Rights is about protecting individual rights in the U.S.
  • Question 26: James Madison is known as the "Father of the Constitution" for his key role in its drafting and promotion. Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence. Richard Henry Lee proposed the resolution for independence. Benjamin Franklin was a key figure in the American Revolution but not the principal author of the Constitution.
  • Question 27: The U.S. Constitution emphasizes government by the people (popular sovereignty) and separation of powers (legislative, executive, judicial). The Bill of Rights focuses on individual rights. The Mayflower Compact was a simple self - governing agreement. The Northwest Ordinances were about governing the Northwest Territory.
