Why do elected leaders get decision making power in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because people have elected them

The direct answer is option C: because people have elected them. In a democracy, citizens give leaders a mandate through elections. This mandate means that voters have authorised those representatives to make public decisions according to the law and their declared policies. The power is therefore based on public choice, not on birth, military position or foreign appointment. Option A is wrong because coming from the army does not automatically create democratic authority. Option B is wrong because birth does not give a person the people’s mandate. Option C is correct because election by citizens is the source of legitimate decision-making power. Option D is wrong because foreign officials are not chosen by the country’s citizens as their democratic representatives. Exam cue: elected leaders have authority because of the people’s mandate.
