Answer:
The correct answer is B. The Constitution reflects the principle of "republicanism" because it creates a national government that is supreme over the states.
Explanation:
Republicanism is an ideology and a political theory. As an ideology, it intends to govern a nation with a republic, that is, as a "public thing" or a matter that belongs to all citizens and not only to a certain social class or elite. Republicanism, as an ideology, is not necessarily anti-monarchy, but radically antidespotic and opposed to aristocracy, oligarchy and dictatorship. It also seeks a political system that protects freedom and is especially based on law, on the law as an expression of the sovereign will of the people and to which a legitimate government can never be subtracted. As a political theory, republicanism proposes and defends the republic as the optimal model of government for a State.
