What is one reason the framers wanted to model the U.S. government after the English government?
A. The Framers wanted a monarch to rule.
B. The framers wanted a government that was limited in size
C. The framers were reluctant to look anywhere but England because they thought England’s government was perfect
D. The framers wanted a limited government and England had a limited government
D. The framers wanted a limited government and England had a limited government
The correct answer is D. The framers wanted a limited government and England had a limited government.
The correct answer is D. The framers wanted a limited government and England had a limited government.
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options A and C since the framers did not want a monarch to rule, nor were they solely focused on the perfection of England's government.
Next, we consider option B, which states that the framers wanted a government that was limited in size. While this is a common desire, it is not specifically related to modeling the U.S. government after the English government.
Finally, we come to option D, which states that the framers wanted a limited government and England already had one. This aligns with the intentions of the framers, as they sought to establish a government that would have restricted powers and prevent abuses of authority. Therefore, option D is the most accurate reason why the framers wanted to model the U.S. government after the English government.
