Brutus' vision of republic is outdated. Diversity of opinion is vital for a republic.
It's necessary for a republic to have people who represent all kinds of people in it. Different classes live different lives, and it's hard for a person who belongs to one class to be aware of the needs, manners, interests of people from a different class. For this reason, diversity is a very important part of a republic.
A republic should <em>NOT</em> be made up of a small group of people who think in a similar way. On the contrary, it <em>should</em> be made up of people from different backgrounds, in order to better represent its people.

Explanation:
The Mayflower Compact of 1620:
was signed by men from one of the first groups of English colonists who came to America
set up a government and the first written laws for the new settlers arriving at Plymouth Colony (now the state of Massachusetts)
created laws for the "general good" (common good) of the settlement
included the idea of "will of the majority," where decisions are made based on what the majority of people agree to do
included the idea of the social contract where the settlers consented to follow the Compact's rules for the sake of the survival of the new colony
influenced Americans to think that British policies and laws harmed instead of supported the common good
influenced Americans to think that King George III, in their own time, was breaking the social contract where he was bound to protect their rights and provide security
was the foundation of the U.S. Constitution according to John Adams and other Founding Fathers
Big Idea: The Mayflower Compact is an example of self-government. The people would determine laws and government for themselves rather than an outside government doing it for them.

Answer: civil service reform
Explanation:
The stalwarts, or half breeds, created the Pendleton Civil Service Reform act in an effort to achieve civil service reform.
The correct answer is D) sharply limited free speech when it implemented the Defense of the Realm Act.
The British government sharply limited free speech when it implemented the Defense of the Realm Act.
We are talking about the difficult times in Britain's history when the English government decided to enter World EWar I. This DORA Act or Defence of the Realm Act was approved in Britain on August 8, 1914. The goal of this act was to censor all the voices it considered enemies or that critiqued the British war effort.
Of course, the Defence of the Realm Act was authoritarian. It exerted total social surveillance and control over the British people. The act conceded many powers to the English government such as take private property to be controlled by the government to support the British troops.
The reaction of anti-war activists was immediate. People like Willi Gallacher or Bertrand Russel raised their voices and protested.
