Besides from these facts, different languages did not help different polis come together, as the linguistic barrier could be a serious difficulty to overcome at the time as today.

I believe that the answer for this is option B. Since there is an advocate given for a limited government, this would most likely contradict the modern American bureaucracy for the reason that the shift of bureaucracy is too much that the federal power between the President to the Congress becomes imbalance.
