what is the primary purpose of most constitutions?
a. to define a moral code for people to follow
b. to provide a substitute for government
c. to prevent a strong central government
d. to define and limit government power
e. to give the government absolute power

Explanation:

Constitutions are fundamental legal documents that establish the structure, powers, and limitations of a government. They aim to define the scope of government authority and prevent the abuse of power. They are not moral codes, alternatives to government, or tools for giving absolute power. While some may limit a strong - central government as a consequence, the primary purpose is to define and limit government power.

Answer:

D. to define and limit government power
