The long-term impact of these characteristics are that Individual rights have been protected against arbitrary actions by government officials.
You did not include the characteristics in question but this is the best answer because it paints the best picture of the American political landscape.
In the United States, the Constitution guarantees several freedoms for people such that should the government try to infringe on these freedoms, the people can go to the Courts to get justice.
The other options are wrong because:
- American rights are limited to the point where they do not endanger the safety of others
- American leaders have their powers limited by the Constitution and going against this often faces significant pushback
- there have been limits to the power of the majority of voters because the minority are still American and so are protected.
In conclusion, American democracy tries to protect the rights of citizens and when they don't, the courts step in to do so.
