Why does final political responsibility for policy decisions lie with the elected government?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it governs with a mandate from the people

Correct answer: A. The elected government receives a mandate from citizens through elections, so it must explain and defend its major policy decisions before the people. A policy is usually prepared with help from civil servants, discussed by ministers, and examined through democratic institutions, but political responsibility remains with ministers and the elected government. Option A is correct because a mandate creates accountability: voters can question the government and may replace it in a later election. Option B is wrong because government officials are appointed public servants, not usually elected representatives seeking votes. Option C is wrong because courts interpret the Constitution and review legality; they do not choose the government. Option D is wrong because media informs and scrutinises the public, but it does not form the Cabinet. Memory cue: elected leaders decide and answer; officials advise and administer.
