Why was representative government important in political liberalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it increased public participation
Representative government is based on the principle that citizens should influence public decisions through elected representatives. This limits arbitrary rule, connects authority with consent and gives people a role in law-making. Thus option A is correct. Increased royal arbitrariness, the disappearance of laws and reduced civil rights are opposite to the constitutional and participatory aims of political liberalism.
