How does a constitution make power legitimate in a democratic country?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: By linking power with fixed rules and public consent.

Direct answer: A is correct. Political power is legitimate when people can see that it has been obtained and used according to accepted rules. A constitution sets the basic rules for elections, institutions, decision-making and the protection of rights. In a democracy, public consent is expressed through citizens and their elected representatives, while constitutional rules prevent rulers from using power purely for personal benefit. Option A is correct because it combines rules with consent. B is wrong because force may create control, but force alone does not create democratic legitimacy. C is wrong because hereditary power does not depend on the equal consent of citizens. D is wrong because protecting citizen rights is part of legitimate government. Memory cue: legitimate power is rule-based and people-based, not force-based.
