Answer:

A

Explanation:

The reason citizens were expected to participate in a democracy is partially in the meaning of democracy. Democracy means "for the people, by the people". This means that the government is created for the people and it is BY the people and what they want! The government will reflect citizen views and create/abolish laws based on citizens' desires.
