What is the importance of public opinion in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It gives direction and pressure to government

Public opinion means the views, needs and judgments of citizens about public matters and government actions. In a democracy, rulers are not free to govern only according to their personal wishes. They must listen to people, consider criticism and explain their decisions. Public opinion expressed through discussions, media, meetings, petitions and elections helps citizens watch the government and ask whether it is working for the public good.

Therefore, option A is correct because public opinion gives direction to government and also creates pressure for responsible action. It can influence policies and encourage leaders to correct mistakes. The other choices describe the opposite of democratic practice: public opinion does not separate government from citizens, remove rights or end elections. Its importance lies in making government responsive and accountable to the people.
