Question

question 5 of 20
a government can only be considered a democracy if it:
a. gives citizens a voice in deciding on its laws and leadership.
b. wins its independence from a tyrannical government.
c. bases its laws on logic and reason rather than religion.
d. relies on a constitution to limit the governments power.

Explanation:

Democracy is a system where citizens have a say in governance. Option A aligns with this as it emphasizes citizens' voice in laws and leadership. Option B (winning independence) is about gaining freedom but not the essence of democracy. Option C (laws based on logic/reason) is more about secularism. Option D (constitution limiting power) is a feature of many systems, not unique to democracy.

Answer:

A. gives citizens a voice in deciding on its laws and leadership.
