Which option best describes the role of citizens in a democracy?

A. To obey the government without question B. To give the government the authority it needs to rule C. To encourage the government to remain authoritarian D. To protest all actions of the government

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Democracy is a form of social organization that attributes the ownership of power to the whole of citizenship. Strictly speaking, democracy is a form of State organization in which collective decisions are adopted by the people through mechanisms of direct or indirect participation that confer legitimacy on their representatives. In a broad sense, democracy is a form of social coexistence in which members are free and equal and social relations are established according to contractual mechanisms.

Answer 2

The second answer is correct (B).

In a democratic system citizens elect their representatives according to the significance of their proposals. The Constitution is clear in its epigraph in noting that power emanates from the people of the USA. In this sense, citizens' main role in democracy is to give politicians the power to govern them.
