Answer:

The right to vote

Step-by-step explanation:

Democracy is a system of government ruled by the people, either directly or indirectly (also known as "representative"). A representative democracy, then, is a type of democracy wherein fair elections occurred so that citizens vote for their representatives, that is to say, for individuals that advocate for their needs, interests, and projects as society and pass and that pass and enforce legislation according to their interests. Therefore, the defining right of representative democracy is the citizens' right to vote.
