Explanation:

Constitutions are fundamental legal documents. Their main role is to outline the structure of the government and limit its power to safeguard citizens' rights and freedoms. They are not about defining a moral code, providing a substitute for government, preventing a strong central government in all cases (as some constitutions support strong central - governments within a legal framework), or giving absolute power to the government.

D. to define and limit government power
