What system did the Constitution create?

• A. A system to protect freedoms
• B. A unitary nation
• C. A Theocracy
• D. A Monarchy

Answer: (A)

The Constitution is about creating a system that protects freedoms by limiting government power and distributing it in careful ways. It does this through a structure of three branches with checks and balances, so no single part can dominate, and by sharing power between the national and state governments (federalism). This design helps guard individual rights and prevent tyranny. The later addition of the Bill of Rights reinforces those protections in concrete freedoms like speech, religion, and due process. In contrast, a unitary system centralizes power, a theocracy ties authority to religion, and a monarchy places power in a hereditary ruler—none of which align with what the Constitution established.
