Why did America choose a president and not a king? Because America already had a king in England

Because they were afraid of one man having too much power

Because Congress decided to have a president

Because they did not want to make a crown

Which is a shared responsibility of state and national governments

declare war

provide for general welfare

admit new states

provide for public safety (police and firefighters)

Question 1- You could say A and B (I'll explain) but I suggest B

Question 2- B

Explanation:

Question 1- Reason one, America already had a king. They know what that feels like, and they don't want history to repeat itself. Also, They were afraid of too much power to one person, which is why checks and balances exists.

Question 2- Both the States and the National Government must provide for the general welfare of the people, as no one wants a government that doesn't care for the people.
