Answer 2

The correct answer is C) to give people a voice in their government.

The purpose of establishing state governments that were republics was to give people a voice in their government.

In a Republic, citizens participate in the election of their rulers, in what is called a representational political process. They elect representatives that are going to serve and protect the citizens. In a Republic, documents such as the Constitution establish laws that rue the country as well as inalienable rights that protect the citizens.
