Why was a constitution more than a legal document for liberal nationalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it limited government power and protected civil rights
The governing concept is constitutional liberalism. A constitution does more than record legal rules: it defines the powers of institutions, places limits on rulers and recognises rights and duties of citizens. Liberal nationalists therefore connected constitutions with freedom, equality before law and representative government. Option A is correct because it expresses this protective and limiting function. The other options support absolutism, economic restriction or an unjustly narrow purpose.
