The correct answer is D. A system of checks and balances.
Explanation: The framers of the Constitution designed a system of checks and balances to ensure that no single branch of government (executive, legislative, or judicial) could overpower the others. This framework limits the majority’s power by providing mechanisms for each branch to monitor and limit the actions of the others, thereby protecting minority rights and preventing tyranny.
