Question

what does the following quote mean:
\our constitution does not copy the laws of neighbouring states, we are rather a pattern to others than imitators ourselves.\
a. the greek constitution is an original because it did not copy other countries laws. instead, other countries will copy their laws.
b. the greek constitution is based off ancient laws
c. the greek constitution is a copy of several governments morphed into one large government which makes it difficult to copy

Explanation:

The quote says the constitution doesn't copy neighboring states' laws and is a pattern (model) for others, not an imitator. Option a matches this: it states the Greek Constitution is original (not copying others' laws) and others will copy it. Option b talks about ancient laws, which the quote doesn't mention. Option c says it's a copy, which contradicts the quote's claim of not copying.

Answer:

a. The Greek Constitution is an original because it did not copy other countries laws. Instead, other countries will copy their laws.
