View question detailsThe governing concept is electoral legitimacy, meaning that a government is accepted as having the right to exercise public authority because citizens have authorised it through a recognised election. Voters evaluate alternatives, cast ballots, and give a mandate to the candidate or party that wins according to established rules. This public approval does not make the government unlimited: it must still obey the constitution, laws, rights, and institutional checks, and it can be replaced in a later election. Option A is correct because it connects legitimacy with people’s votes and approval. Options B and C are false because elected governments remain subject to law and are answerable to voters; option D denies the very basis of democratic authority.
