The correct answer is D) a privilege allowing members of Congress to send free mass mailings to their constituents.

Franking refers to a privilege allowing members of Congress to send free mass mailings to their constituents.

Under the influence of the Congressional Frank of the Britsh House of Commons in the 17th century, the Franking privileges were authorized by the Continental Congres in the American colonies for the members of Congress in 1775; specifically on November 8. This privileged is funded in the ideas that congressmen need to permanently stay in touch with the citizens. It has been a great communication tool between Congress and people.
