Question

according to the excerpt, what right do people have when their government is not responsive to their needs?
a. they can disobey laws
b. they can riot
c. they can make a new government
d. they can refuse to vote

Explanation:

This question relates to political theory (subfield of Social Science, specifically Politics). In concepts like those from the Declaration of Independence or social contract theory, when a government is unresponsive, people have the right to institute a new government. Disobeying laws (a) and rioting (b) are not legitimate or recognized rights in standard political theory. Refusing to vote (d) is a personal choice but not the right related to a non - responsive government as per these theories. So the correct option is c.

Answer:

c. They can make a new government
