Why is it necessary for democracy that a Constitution treats people as the source of power?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because in democracy government runs by people's consent

Direct answer: D is correct. In a democracy, political authority is justified by the people, not by birth, personal ownership, or an unlimited claim by rulers. The Constitution expresses this principle by establishing citizens as the source of authority and by creating procedures through which their consent is represented, such as elections and accountable institutions. This does not mean that every citizen makes every daily decision directly; it means that government must ultimately answer to the people and respect their constitutional rights. Option D is correct because consent gives democratic legitimacy. A is wrong because hereditary rule derives power from family succession, not popular consent. B is wrong because democracy gives citizens a central role. C is wrong because a democratic government is accountable to the people, not independent of them. Memory cue: people are the owners of democratic power; governments are trustees who must answer to them.
