How do elections create both legitimacy and accountability in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: सरकार जनता के वोट से बनती है और फिर जनता के सामने जाती है

Direct answer: A is correct. Legitimacy means that people accept a government as having the right to govern. When citizens freely vote and a government is formed according to the result, the government receives a public mandate; this gives it democratic legitimacy. Accountability means that rulers must explain their decisions and remain answerable to citizens. Elections provide this second feature because the government must face the people again after a fixed period. Voters can examine its performance, compare it with alternatives, and retain or replace it. B is wrong because hereditary and permanent rule does not depend on citizens' approval. C is wrong because counting votes is essential for knowing the people's choice. D is wrong because elected leaders remain subject to the people and democratic rules. The two ideas work together: the vote authorises a government now, while the possibility of a later electoral judgment keeps it responsible. Memory cue: mandate gives legitimacy; re-election pressure creates accountability.
