I NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE! Will mark brainliest if answer is right! Which is the best inference about Lincoln’s interpretation of his primary presidential duty?

A.
to create a new form of republican government for the Union states
B.
to follow Washington’s directive to be political cement for the nation
C.
to sacrifice constitutional liberty for the good of the nation
D.
to preserve the country’s founding principle of a nation of states

Here :)

Explanation:

"to preserve the country's founding principle..."

I did not take a picture of the text but in the provided text it said something like, "He stand in defense..." So for me, that indicated that he did not have to sacrifice, follow, or create. He had to preserve something which was, the founding principle of a nation of states.

So, D :)

one of the major compromises in the constitutional convention was between the small states and big states. the small states wanted each state to have the same number of representatives in congress. the big states wanted representation based on population.
