Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A is incorrect because that is the start of monarchy and what we escaped from. B is correct because the ultimate powers designated to our government is to protect and establish rules and it's citizens. C is ultimately wrong because, while those are some of the government's powers, they're not the main ones. D is incorrect because that gives the government too much power and taxing people is not a purpose. It's just a minor power.

Hope this helps! :)
