  Starting off with the prompt I broke it down into three key pieces.

  PS= Political stability

  F = The fiction that laws are embodying the intention of the authors

  I = illusion that laws are bequest of a long tradition rather than preferences of contemporary politicians

  Reading the prompt we know that

  The illusion is necessary for Politcal stability : PS -> I

  and with know that The fiction is necessary for the illusion: I -> F
  (they give this argument in a really obscured way but it essentially breaks down to this)

  So we combined these two statements together and get:

  PS -> I -> F

  or the contrapositive

  /F -> /I -> /PS

  A ) incorrect, uses the term poltical leaders when it should be founders

  B ) Correct: is essentially saying: when /F then/PS (/F -> /PS)

  C) incorrect: Topic shifts with them stem being about intrepretation and use of the constitution while this answer choice is about beliefs

  D) incorrect: has the wrong intpretation of F. This answer choice is saying is that a written consitution preserves the Illusion. But thats not what the prompt is saying. The prompt is saying "the Fiction that a consitution is being intrepretted in line with the authors intentions" is what preserves the illusion.

  E) incorrect: off topic "perceived lack of legal tradition"?

  Hopefully this helps

  Cheers
