Thanks for the question! You got the right answer, (C). Remember that we’re looking for the main idea of the passage here, so let’s take a quick overview of what the passage is telling us. The first paragraph tells us about how the English colonials had a different interpretation of political language than the English in England. The second paragraph tells us that the political institutions of England were reproduced in the American colonies. The third paragraph then builds off of this, saying that although they were structurally similar, English and colonials had different attitudes towards those institutions. The fourth paragraph then talks about how the colonies didn’t like the English Parliament that much and didn’t give their colonies too many broad powers, since they believed in the importance of having written constitutions that explicitly defined governmental powers. Thus, we can see that (C) encapsulates all of this—the passage tells us, in essence, that the colonials and the English had differing interpretations of their language and institutional structures. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any further questions you may have.
