Why can an elected government drift away from democratic values without rights?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because citizens' control over power becomes weak

Correct answer: C. Elections choose representatives, but an election alone does not guarantee that those representatives will always respect freedom, equality, dignity, or minority protection. Rights give citizens continuing protection and lawful ways to monitor, criticize, and challenge government action between elections. Without such limits, citizens' control over power becomes weak and rulers may act arbitrarily even after receiving an electoral mandate. C is correct because it explains this loss of continuing public control. A is wrong because citizenship includes far more than paying taxes, such as participation and claiming protection. B is wrong because rights do not automatically change election results; they regulate power and protect citizens. D is wrong because rights make courts and legal remedies important, not unnecessary. Memory cue: elections select rulers; rights control how rulers govern. Both are needed for a real democracy.
