Option D is the correct answer. A constitutional government is fundamentally defined as a government that operates within the limits set by a constitution.
The essence of constitutionalism is that the power of the government is not absolute but is constrained by a supreme law, the constitution. This limits arbitrary rule and protects individual rights and liberties.
