The correct answer is D) seeing an issue that needs to be reformed and waiting to see if the government will notice.

Which would NOT be the responsibility of voters in a representative government?

Answer:

Seeing an issue that needs to be reformed and waiting to see if the government will notice.

In a representative government, citizens have the right to participate in elections in order to choose their representatives. That is one of the great advantages of living under a democracy.

But with this comes responsibility too. And that is that citizens must actively participate in politics so they can exert pressure on their representatives and demand solutions for their concerns and problems. Otherwise, legislators could accept negotiate with lobbyists to support anu particular agenda, and that is not correct.

Legislators represent people, not particular agendas.
