Who gives legitimacy to rule in a democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: People

Direct answer: option A, the people. Democracy means that political authority ultimately comes from the citizens. People give approval through elections, participation, public discussion, and constitutional institutions; this makes rule legitimate. Option A is correct because the governed are the source of democratic consent. Option B, a royal family, may inherit authority in a monarchy, but inheritance is not democratic legitimacy. Option C, a foreign power, cannot normally give a democratic government its citizens' consent. Option D, one person's will, describes personal or autocratic rule, not rule based on equal public approval. The idea is not that every decision is made directly by everyone, but that government must be answerable to the people. Memory cue: democracy means people are the source of authority.
