Why are elections considered an instrument of popular sovereignty?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because people help determine the direction of governance by voting

Correct answer: B. Popular sovereignty means that the people are the ultimate source of political authority. Elections express this principle by allowing citizens to select representatives and influence which policies and leaders receive public support. A government may exercise authority after winning an election, but its authority is connected to the consent of the voters and remains subject to law and future elections. B is correct because it links voting with the people's power to influence governance. A is wrong because birth is not a democratic basis for political authority. C is wrong because courts do not choose voters; eligible citizens have voting rights under election law. D is wrong because genuine elections give people a public voice instead of silencing them. A useful warning is that popular sovereignty does not mean every citizen makes every decision directly; it often works through elected representatives.
