How is the significance of rights connected with legitimacy of government?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Respect for rights makes government just and acceptable

Direct answer: A is correct. A government gains democratic legitimacy not only through winning an election, but also by exercising power according to law, respecting rights and treating citizens as equal persons. When people can participate, question authority and receive protection from arbitrary action, they have stronger reasons to regard the government as just and acceptable. Option B is wrong because removing rights increases the danger of arbitrary rule and weakens public trust. Option C is wrong because force may compel obedience but cannot by itself create democratic legitimacy. Option D is wrong because legitimacy is closely connected with citizens’ consent, welfare and rights. Memory cue: election gives authority to govern; respect for rights gives that authority democratic legitimacy.
