Which term describes a temporary government established by the people in a region?

• A. Bill of Rights
• B. Provisional Government
• C. Cree
• D. Treason

Answer: (B)

A provisional government is a temporary governing body formed by the people to run affairs during a transition. It acts as a bridge between the old government and a more lasting authority, stepping in to maintain order, make decisions, and organize things like elections or a new constitution while a permanent government is planned or established. This fits the idea of a temporary government created by the people in a region.

The other options describe different things: a Bill of Rights is a document outlining basic rights, not a government; Cree refers to a specific Indigenous group; treason is a crime involving betraying one’s country.
