Sagot :

The constitution reflects the principle of republicanism in that the Constitution establishes a "republic" in the United States in that the Government is run by elected representatives of the people. The state is therefore representative of the people and not subject to the rulers. These are ideals of republicanism and creating a republican government. The answer is D)

d) divides the legislative branch into two houses of elected officials


The philosophy of republicanism is representative government.


Republicanism promotes a government "for and by the people". Representatives being elected by the people are expected to act for the people who elected them. Having two houses of Congress creates a balanced system with differing ways of determining the representation.
