I don't think A is correct because at the time, those three branches of government didn't exist yet. C is also incorrect because Britain didn't want to give America any freedoms. D is incorrect because that has nothing to do with either Bill of Rights or the American governmental system.
Basically, big countries started rapidly industrializing and since they needed resources such as coal and oil and money they needed then to conquer other countries and take it from them.
