Answer 1

Answer:

b. republicanism

Explanation:

Republican form of government usually considered as the most efficient method to run a country with large population (such as united states). In this principle of government,  the people can't directly make the legislations that is passed by the government. But in exchange, they can select representatives that will fight within the government body on their behalf.

American concept of Republicanism was first introduced by the founding fathers after getting our independence from the Britain.

They found that the Monarchy system (which is the most popular at that time), gave the people with no influence within the government. They have to always trust their fate to the leaders of government even when they're doing a bad job.

Republicanism help addressed this issue. By giving the people with the power to vote for representatives, people can voted out the government leaders who disappointed them during their period in the office.
