If one person one vote one value is absent why does consent for democratic government weaken?

Correct answer: Because consent is not formed from equal citizen votes

The direct answer is A: consent is not formed from equal citizen votes. Democratic government is considered legitimate when people have a fair opportunity to participate and their political choices are counted equally. The reasoning is: citizens vote; equal votes express the citizens’ preferences; the result gives the government public consent. If some votes are given greater weight, the result reflects unequal power rather than the equal consent of citizens, so support for the government becomes weaker or less legitimate. Option A states this exact connection. Option B is wrong because campaigning is a normal part of elections and does not itself destroy consent. Option C is wrong because making a voter list helps identify eligible voters and can support fairness. Option D is wrong because candidates speaking allows voters to hear ideas and does not by itself weaken consent. Equal vote value does not mean everyone agrees; it means disagreement is handled through equal political rights. Memory cue: fair consent needs fair counting.
