Based on the passage, the author emphasizes democracy as a conversation and suggests a structured framework that promotes dialogue. The statement that aligns most closely with this idea is:
The U.S. Constitution is difficult to amend.
This choice reflects the notion that a more challenging amendment process might encourage more thorough conversation and deliberation among various stakeholders in a democracy, rather than making changes too easily without sufficient debate.
