Cevap

The correct pairing links: (1) the establishment of Regional Assemblies to institutionalizing regionalism with advisory roles, (2) the unofficial majority in the central council to providing representation without executive authority, (3) the Governor's executive powers to maintaining centralized colonial control, and (4) limiting the elective principle to excluding most regional Nigerians from direct voting.
Each feature of the Richards Constitution of 1946 directly corresponds to its political outcome: Regional Assemblies formalised regionalism with advisory duties; the unofficial majority gave a sense of representation while executive power remained with the Governor; and the elective principle remained restricted to Lagos and Calabar.

Cevap

The National Electoral Commission (NEC) matches with the electoral body led by Prof. Humphrey Nwosu; Option A4 matches with the open-ballot grassroots nomination system; the Social Democratic Party (SDP) matches with the state-created center-left party; and the Interim National Government (ING) matches with the temporary administration headed by Ernest Shonekan.
Each key institution and mechanism is paired correctly with its historical function: NEC managed the election under Prof. Humphrey Nwosu; Option A4 was the multi-tier nomination system; the SDP was the center-left party that won the election; and the ING was the interim arrangement under Ernest Shonekan.

Cevap

Location of Supreme Sovereignty matches 'Fully retained by individual component units rather than vested in the joint central organ.' Scope of Central Authority Powers matches 'Strictly limited to specific delegated matters such as joint defense and external relations.' Legal Basis of Association matches 'Formed via a voluntary treaty or alliance between legally independent sovereign states.' Right of Secession matches 'Unconditionally preserved, allowing constituent states to unilaterally withdraw at will.'
In political science, a confederal system is defined as a league of sovereign states created by treaty. Sovereignty belongs to the constituent states, central powers are strictly restricted to delegated functions such as defense, the legal association is treaty-based, and member states preserve an absolute right of unilateral secession.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze sovereignty allocation in confederal systems
Identify that sovereignty resides solely with the component states, which create a weak central body.
Confederations differ fundamentally from federations, where sovereignty is shared or divided constitutionally.
2
Determine the functional limits of the central government
Recognize that central organs handle only delegated responsibilities like mutual security and diplomacy.
Member states reserve domestic legislation and administrative jurisdiction for themselves.
3
Examine the constitutional foundation and withdrawal rights
Establish that confederal unions are based on voluntary treaties with an explicit right of secession.
Since states retain independent statehood, their agreement to associate remains voluntary and revocable.
