Why can a system elected by active citizens be called limited democracy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because not all inhabitants had the right to vote
The governing concept is the limitation of political participation. The Revolution introduced elected representation and active citizenship, but voting rights were restricted by conditions such as status or tax qualification, so the whole population could not participate equally. Therefore option B is correct. Options A, C and D are inaccurate: there was no yearly elected king, representative institutions existed, and peasants did not receive every office.
