Question

question 10 of 10
which statement best describes a similarity between a democracy and a republic?

a. both get their sovereignty from their citizens.

b. both guarantee their citizens the same rights.

c. both grant the majority unlimited power.

d. both are based on the principles of feudalism.

Explanation:

Democracies and republics are both forms of representative government where ultimate authority (sovereignty) resides with the citizens, who exercise power through voting or elected representatives. Option B is incorrect because rights guaranteed can vary; option C is wrong as republics often limit majority power to protect minorities; option D is false since neither is based on feudalism. Thus, A is the correct similarity.

Answer:

A. Both get their sovereignty from their citizens.
