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—would hold too much power. This system limits the majority’s power by allowing each branch to monitor and restrict the actions of the others, protecting minority rights and maintaining a balance in governance.
