The argument of people's consent in democracy separates governance from what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: From arbitrariness and coercion

People’s consent means that government should receive acceptance from those whom it governs. In a democracy, authority is not justified simply because a ruler possesses power. It should be based on the people’s approval, expressed through participation, elections, discussion, and other lawful means. Consent therefore stands against arbitrary decisions and the use of force without public approval.

The question asks what consent separates democratic governance from. Citizen participation, public debate, and elections help produce consent, so they are not its opposites. Arbitrariness means acting without fair reasons or accountability, while coercion means forcing people to obey. Thus option B correctly identifies what consent rejects: governance based on arbitrariness and coercion.
