Why is keeping the political executive temporary and changeable necessary for democracy?

Correct answer: So that people can replace poor governance through elections

Direct answer: A is correct. A democratic political executive receives authority for a limited period through elections or through the elected legislature. Because it can lose office, it has an incentive to listen to citizens, explain its decisions, follow the Constitution, and improve governance. If people are dissatisfied, they can use the next election to support another party or leadership. A is correct because temporary and replaceable office makes rulers answerable to the public rather than permanently powerful. B is wrong because a change of political leaders should not stop the continuing administration. C is wrong because courts interpret and protect the law; they do not normally choose the government in a democracy. D is wrong because lifelong rule is the opposite of electoral change and democratic accountability. Memory cue: elections give power, but elections can also take it away.
