View question detailsWhat does it mean that major decisions are made by elected leaders?
Correct answer: A
The governing democratic principle is popular legitimacy through elections. In a representative democracy, citizens do not usually make every policy decision directly; instead, they elect representatives and authorise them to govern. Leaders who win a genuine election receive a mandate and are expected to make major decisions in accordance with constitutional rules and public interests. Therefore option A is correct. This does not mean that every decision is secret or that only rich people decide. It also does not mean that citizens become irrelevant after voting: people can question leaders, participate in public debate, organise, and replace them in later elections. Options B, C, and D contradict the representative and accountable nature of democracy.
