The argument of popular consent in favour of democracy separates governance from what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: From arbitrariness and coercion

Direct answer: Option A, arbitrariness and coercion. Popular consent means that people accept the authority of the government, directly or through elected representatives. A democratic government is not supposed to rule merely because one person or group commands power. Its decisions should have public approval, legal support, and reasons that citizens can discuss. The fact chain is: consent gives legitimacy; legitimacy separates accepted public rule from arbitrary personal orders; therefore democracy is different from rule based on force or whim. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because participation usually supports consent and is not something from which governance is separated. Option C is wrong because elections are an important method through which consent is expressed. Option D is wrong because public discussion helps citizens form and express consent. Memory cue: popular consent means “government by acceptance, not by force or personal whim.”
