The correct answer is "elected representatives who are the voice of the people."
To arrive at this answer, we can use a process of elimination.
First, let's consider option (a) - a centralized government that provides for more order. The Roman Republic did have a centralized government, but this does not directly align with the framing of the Constitution. The Constitution of the United States aimed to establish a balance of power between the federal and state governments, with certain powers being delegated to the central government while others were reserved for the states. So, we can eliminate option (a).
Next, let's consider option (c) - a judicial system that is controlled by the people. This option does not align with the influence of the Roman Republic on the framing of the Constitution. In the Roman Republic, the legal system was based on a mixture of popular assemblies, elected officials, and appointed judges. The Constitution of the United States, on the other hand, established a system where judges are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. So, we can eliminate option (c).
Lastly, let's consider option (d) - a democratic government run by the people. While the Roman Republic did have elements of democracy, such as the election of officials and the existence of popular assemblies, this option is not specific enough to align with the influence on the framing of the Constitution. The Constitution of the United States established a representative democracy, where the people elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. So, we can eliminate option (d).
By process of elimination, we are left with option (b) - elected representatives who are the voice of the people. This aligns with one of the influences of the Roman Republic on the framing of the Constitution. The Roman Republic had a system of elected officials, such as consuls and senators, who represented the interests of the people. The framers of the Constitution were influenced by this idea of representative government, where elected representatives would act as the voice of the people in making decisions.
