question 2 of 10
which aspect of u.s. politics is most closely tied to the concept of indirect
democracy?

a. many states allow citizens to vote directly on new laws or
government policies.

b. every four years, elections are held to select the president of the
united states.

c. some cities allow citizens to hold town hall meetings to vote on
new laws.

d. in most cases, the majority rules — even if the minority disagrees.

Explanation:

Indirect democracy means citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. Presidential elections involve voters choosing electors (or directly selecting the president via popular vote that translates to electoral college representation) who then formalize the presidency, fitting indirect democracy. Options A and C describe direct democracy (citizens voting directly on laws), while D is a general democratic principle not specific to indirect democracy.

Answer:

B. Every four years, elections are held to select the president of the United States.
