d. to protect against radical shifts in government that result from swift changes in popular opinion

Explanation:

The senate serves to "mediate" and reach proper agreements based on well thought out and thorough proceedings from a handful representative of the people. It works to protect against swift, radical changes in government as it checks and balances other government loopholes that could push for radical changes that may be harmful to the system.
