If elections do not give people a chance to change the government, which feature of democracy will become weak?

People's control

Correct answer: A. A central feature of democracy is that people have a meaningful role in controlling their government. This does not mean that every individual directly runs the administration. Instead, citizens choose representatives and can judge their performance at regular elections. If elections do not offer a genuine possibility of changing the government, rulers may continue in power without responding to public criticism or needs. A is correct because it names the weakened democratic feature: people's control over those who govern. B is wrong because weather information is unrelated to democratic choice. C is wrong because a court building is a physical institution, not the feature being tested. D is wrong because a holiday has no necessary connection with the public's power to change rulers. Memory cue: a democracy needs not only elections, but a real possibility of replacement.
