The United States in Congress assembled shall never engage in a war, nor grant letters of marque or reprisal in time of peace, nor enter into any treaties or alliances,... unless nine States assent to the same. Nor shall a question on any other point be determined, unless by the votes of the majority of the United States in Congress assembled."—Articles of ConfederationThe restrictions placed on the federal government shown in this quote best reflect the principle of:.
a) popular sovereignty
b) limited government
c) social contract
d) natural rights

Popular sovereignty

Explanation:

B Limited government is to govern in a limited manner, this has nothing to do with decisions made by majority or 9 states.

C Social contract is the title of the book written by Jean Jacques Rousseau before the French Revolution. It focuses on, in a perfect society, how the will of people should submit to the general will. In the case of the American Congress it´s the other way around.

D The natural rights of human beings might be political but definitely don´t belong to voting rules.

A Popular sovereignty: the government is created by and subject to the will of the people.
