C. to make it more closely reflect the US Constitution.

After the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, many states revised their constitutions to align state government structure and separation of powers with the new federal framework. Rewriting South Carolina's constitution in 1790 adjusted its institutions (for example, moving toward a bicameral legislature and clearer executive/judicial roles) rather than creating a monarchy or removing all voting restrictions.
