Why is it said that elections make rulers servants of people in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because rulers must depend on people's approval and votes

Correct answer: A. In a democracy, rulers do not possess permanent authority simply because of birth, wealth or family background. They receive the right to govern through elections in which citizens choose among alternatives. Their authority therefore depends on public approval. During their term, they are expected to respond to people's needs, explain their decisions and remain answerable for their performance. At the next election, voters can support them again or replace them with another candidate or party. This possibility of losing power encourages rulers to treat citizens as the source of political authority; in this sense, rulers are described as servants of the people. B describes hereditary rule, not democratic accountability. C is the opposite of democracy because citizens do have the right to vote. D is false because public results help make rulers accountable. Memory cue: elections give power to rulers, but voters can take that power away.
