Answer:

C) constitutional republic

Step-by-step explanation:

The framers of the constitution is a system whereby the tried to balance the power between the government and the individual rights. They believed that, if all the power is left to the government, there is high tendency of it being abused. In order to counter this, they choose federalism as a system of government by creating the Senate. This helps to protect the opinion of minorities. This is backed by the constitution.
