B. Republicanism

C. Checks and balances

A. limited Government

Explanation:

The US Constitution defines the powers of each branch of government and its limitations. It also institute checks and balances to avoid abuses by one branch. The inclusion of an article that gives people the right to have a trial by jury is a measure of legal protection of citizens against the possibility of unfair trial; it imposes a limitation on the power of the judicial branch, on the power of judges. It is also justified historically; trials without a jury were one of the motives of deep disatisfaction of the American colonists under British royal rule.
