The Constitution of the United States is a triumph of a democratic republic. To assume that it is "to protect the economic elite" is naive at best. You should study Bacon's Rebellion as well as the Whiskey Rebellion. Both played heavily in the minds of the framers of said Constitution. As is, that document protects the rights of all tax paying, law abiding citizens. Not just the wealthy.

Since it formed a Republic, it isn't your first option.
It does provide a framework in which the citizens can become successful.
Hmmm
I don't think your wording is quite right..but if those are the only choices...I'll say your second option

The constitution was the greatest political document ever written and the result was the greatest country that has ever existed. Until about 5 years ago...

We are a Republic not a Democracy.
Neither one is your answer.
