The system described by U.S. Government Features is which of the following?

• A. Anarchy with no central government
• B. Monarchy with limited powers
• C. Military junta
• D. Constitutional, representative, democratic, federal

Answer: (D)

The system being described is a written framework that limits government power, relies on elected representatives to make decisions, operates through democratic participation, and divides authority between national and state levels. That combination—constitutional, representative, democratic, and federal—fits how the United States is governed: a constitution sets legal limits and structures, citizens elect representatives to legislate and govern, and powers are shared between national and state governments. The other options describe forms that don’t match how the U.S. is organized—anarchy means no central authority, monarchy with hereditary power, and military rule implies governance by the military.
