c it was a revised version of the english constitution.

e it allowed all male citizens over the age of twenty - one to vote.

Explanation:

The US Constitution adopted at the Constitutional Convention was the result of several compromises such as the Great Compromise (on the structure of Congress), the Three - Fifths Compromise (on counting slaves for representation and taxation). It did not cover all aspects of government in exact detail, was not a revised English Constitution, did not initially include a Bill of Rights (added later as the first 10 amendments), and did not give all men over 21 the right to vote (property and other restrictions applied).

Answer:

A. It was built on a series of compromises.
