Question

question 8
how does the u.s. constitutional republic protect liberty and representation better than a monarchy?
a. citizens vote on every law.
b. a single monarch makes laws without legal limits.
c. leaders are elected by the people and limited by a constitution.
d. leaders inherit power and rule for life.

Explanation:

In a constitutional republic like the U.S., leaders are elected by the people (ensuring representation) and their powers are limited by a constitution (protecting liberty). In a monarchy, especially an absolute monarchy (where a single monarch makes laws without legal limits - option B) or where leaders inherit power and rule for life (option D), there is less protection of liberty and representation. Option A “Citizens vote on every law” is not how a constitutional republic (like the U.S. which has representative democracy) functions.

Answer:

C. Leaders are elected by the people and limited by a constitution.
