If elections become only a ritual, which main feature of democracy will weaken?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Real public control over power

Correct answer: A, real public control over power. Elections are meaningful only when citizens can genuinely choose among candidates, express approval or dissatisfaction, and replace leaders when necessary. A ritual election may follow a timetable and use voting symbols, but if the result is already controlled or people have no real choice, citizens cannot influence who governs them. A is correct because democratic elections make rulers answerable to voters and allow a peaceful change of government. B is wrong because polling-booth construction is only an administrative arrangement; it does not by itself give people control. C is wrong because campaign songs are not the foundation of democracy. D is wrong because the age of candidates is a legal or eligibility matter, not the central democratic purpose of elections. Memory cue: an election must give people power, not merely display voting procedures.
