  1. Question 1

    Q1. A federalism essay contrasts “restoring parliamentary supremacy by deleting a president’s assembly-kill switch” with “later special courts for a defined trial class.” Which pair names the right amendments?

    • A) Eighteenth Amendment for the assembly power removal and Twenty-First Amendment for the special courts window
    • B) Thirteenth Amendment for the assembly power removal and Twenty-Fifth Amendment for the special courts window
    • C) Seventeenth Amendment for the assembly power removal and Twentieth Amendment for the special courts window
    • D) Eighth Amendment for the assembly power removal and Second Amendment for the special courts window

    Answer: Eighteenth Amendment for the assembly power removal and Twenty-First Amendment for the special courts window

    Explanation: The Thirteenth Amendment (1997) deleted Article 58(2)(b), removing the President's power to dissolve the National Assembly and restoring parliamentary supremacy. The Twenty-First Amendment (2015) then created special military courts for a defined period to try terrorism suspects.
