Read the sentence from paragraph 1 of the text.
a bill of rights against the encroachments of kings and barons, or against any power independent of the people, is perfectly intelligible; but a bill of rights against the encroachments of an elective legislature, that is, against our own encroachments on ourselves, is a curiosity in government.

which phrase in the sentence best suggests the meaning of intelligible?

a.
the phrase "is a curiosity in the government," because it is used in contrast to intelligible.
b.
the phrase "our own encroachments on ourselves," because it explains an effect of something being intelligible.
c.
the phrase "power independent of the people," because it states the meaning of intelligible.
d.
the phrase "against the encroachments of kings," because it provides an example of something that is intelligible.
