Statement 2 is also correct: In a constitutional government, the constitution serves as the fundamental law and the basis of public authority; all governmental actions must be in accordance with the constitution.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-key-points\">\nA constitutional government is characterized by the limitation of state power by a constitution, which serves as the source and basis of public authority.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-additional_information\">\nStatement 3 is incorrect because a constitutional government can be a republic (with an elected Head of State) or a constitutional monarchy (with a monarch whose powers are limited by the constitution). The presence of a monarch is not a necessary characteristic. Statement 4 is incorrect; while universal adult franchise is a feature of many modern constitutional democracies, it is not a defining characteristic of constitutional government itself. Historically, many constitutional governments existed before the advent of universal suffrage, and some states with constitutions today may not fully implement universal suffrage.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider the following statements about Constitutional Government : 1.
