The good choice is:

D. to define and limit government power

A constitution includes the people's most important rights, the powers and limits of government and its branches. It also may include: the country's boundaries, powers of local authorities, a definition of the social and political system, how foreign treaties will be incorporated into the local legal system, the role of police and the armed forces, among other issues.
