Answer:

The correct answer is OPTION C (insuring domestic tranquility)

Step-by-step explanation:

Maintaining order in society is very important to ensure the lives and well being of any citizen is not threatened by the negative behaviors and actions of other citizens. How behavior is termed "bad" depends on the law of the society that grades acceptable behavior. Order is maintained in society when people obey and comply with the laid down rules for acceptable behavior and are determined to live upright lives.

Societies "insure domestic tranquility" when they make sure laws are kept so everyone could live peacefully. The purpose is to allow peace and order in society thereby eliminating conflict among members of the society.
