A I only
B II only
C Both 1 and II
D Neither I nor II

Correct answer: (a) I only

Explanation

  1. A

    I only

    I only. The Constitution’s explicit line in I is scored; II is not.

  2. B

    II only

    II only. II is the false limb.

  3. C

    Both 1 and II

    Both. II fails.

  4. D

    Neither I nor II

    Neither. I holds.

Summary. Official Set A key is (a) I only. Tick the statement that the Constitution actually writes. Statement II over-claims a convention or a statute as if it were an explicit constitutional clause. I only.
