In democracy, the government is chosen by whom?

Correct answer: By the people

The direct answer is B: the government is chosen by the people. Democracy means a form of government in which citizens have the power to select their representatives, usually by voting in elections. The reasoning is simple: citizens are eligible to vote; they cast votes; votes help decide which candidates or parties will form the government; the elected government is expected to work for the public and can be questioned or replaced in later elections. Option A, the army, is wrong because army rule is military rule, not democracy. Option B is correct because the people are the source of electoral authority. Option C, the court, is wrong because courts interpret laws and decide cases; they do not normally choose the government through elections. Option D, traders, is wrong because businesspeople are only one group among citizens and cannot choose the government on behalf of everyone. Remember: democracy means people’s rule, expressed through elections and votes.
