Answer
A
upset the governor.
B
violate the state constitution.
C
anger the voters.
D
impose new taxes.

Explanation

Local governments may create ordinances and other local laws, but their authority is limited by higher law. A local law cannot violate the state constitution, so B, “violate the state constitution,” is correct. Upsetting the governor or angering voters is not a legal test, and local governments may sometimes impose taxes when authorized by law.
