The correct answer is A) "our democratic-republican government is based on the idea of the natural right of every individual member thereof to ...a vote in making and executing the laws."

The quotation that correctly uses an ellipsis to shorten Anthony’s words is the above.

The famous three dots. That is an ellipsis. It is used to show omitted words from a quotation. An ellipsis is also used when you want to pause, an unfinished thought, a trail off into silence, and omissions from sentences.

The other options of the question are B) "our democratic-republican government is based on the idea of a natural right of every individual member thereof to...a voice and a vote, C) "our democratic-republican government... of the natural right of every individual member thereof to...a vote in making an executing..., and D) "our democratic-republican government is based on the idea of...a voice and a vote, in making an executing the laws.
