Answer:

The statement that best explains why Franklin feels that it is his public duty to overlook the Constitution's errors is D: Franklin knows that the people can always replace the Government if it does not function satisfactorily.

Explanation:

Franklin decides to sacrifice his opinions about the Constitution's errors because he thinks that expressing them won't be helpful. He clearly had his doubts about the result of that document, but he didn't think it was necessary to put them out because he believed that, if the people thought the Government was not functioning well, they themselves were going to act about it and replace it. He clearly had his own opinion about the Constitution, but felt the people could decide for themselves if it was working or not, and if it was not working out well, they would act on it. He felt it was his public duty to save his opinion for himself because, at the end, he knew that in Democracy the power is always within the people.
