The Preamble of the Constitution demonstrates

that the writers believed that sovereignty belongs

to the

(1) federal government (3) president

(2) state governments (4) people

Answer;

4. people.

Explanation;

-The preamble of the constitution demonstrates that the writers believed that sovereignty belongs to the people.

For instance the United States is a sovereign nation which means it is an independent nation, governed by the American people, that controls its own affairs.

-A democratic government is form of government in which the sovereign power resides in and is exercised by the whole body of free citizens directly or indirectly through a system of representation, as distinguished from a monarchy, aristocracy, or oligarchy. This is stipulated by the constitution of the country.

I think that the best answer is "people" - the forth choice.

The Preamble starts with the words "We the People" and does not mention the Government, either state or federal, nor the president: the other choices are incorrect.
