Answer:

C. the General Will or a majority of its people.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Rousseau, a nation should be governed by the General Will or a majority of its people.

Based on the beliefs of Rousseau, he argued that the people could not be properly represented by elected representatives because their general will could not be decided by these people. He believed in direct democracy where everyone has direct say on the affairs of the government.
