What is the main difference between the role of elected government and officials in a policy decision?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The elected government takes political decisions, while officials help with advice and implementation

Correct answer: A. Elected ministers receive a democratic mandate and decide the broad political direction of government policy. They are answerable to the legislature and ultimately to citizens through elections. Permanent officials, who are selected through the administrative system, provide expert advice, prepare documents, apply rules, coordinate departments, and help carry out the decision. Officials do not replace the political responsibility of ministers, and ministers do not perform every technical administrative task themselves. Option B reverses the normal roles and is absurd. Option C is wrong because political leadership and administrative support are different functions. Option D is wrong because courts do not appoint both groups every day. Memory cue: ministers decide direction; officials provide continuity and implementation.
