Answer:
The correct response is Option A: It allows citizens to elect representatives who will pass and enforce laws on their behalf.
Explanation:
One of the fundamental principles of a representative democracy is that citizens elect the government authorities who will represent them. This is the type of system we have in the United States where citizens vote for the Congressmen who will represent them in the House, and the Senators who will represent them in the Senate. One form of being active in the public sphere is to call your representatives or to write letters to let them know the position you have on issues that may be before the House or the Senate. Your representatives are supposed to consider the constituents who elected them on public policy issues, legislation, and on requests for help with political or government matters like someone needing consular help abroad, for example, or a naturalization application that is taking too long.
Answer: Babylonians came after Akkadians and Sumerians so it is important to bear this in mind because many of their skills were inherited from previous cultures and some of these skills can be viewed as an extension of Sumerian and Akkadian culture/civilization (Sumerian language continued being language of liturgy, some old Sumerian religious cults were still there, Sumerian mythology was still present, astronomy and mathematics and cuneiform characters were inherited). Day divided in 24 hours is a Babylonian invention, circle divided in 360 degrees is also Babylonian invention, capacity to predict lunar eclipse and discovery of lunation (and their symbolic interpretation) is a Babylonian invention. Big part of all that was acquired/inherited by old Greek thinkers (Thales for example).
Explanation: There is no doubt that astronomy/astrology is of Sumerian/Babylonian origin and this knowledge was spread in Middle East and later it came to Greece. Egyptian and Greek (and later western) astrology was influenced by Babylonian astrology. Many predictive techniques and divinations we can found among Egyptians and Greek were of Babylonian origin (study of planetary secondary progressions, eclipses etc.).

Answer:
A democratic system.
Explanation:
Democracy is a form of government in which the will of the people is the source of legitimate exercise of power. A distinction is made between direct democracy, in which citizens vote personally on laws, decisions and appointments, and indirect, in which the people are represented by an elected body, such as a council or parliament.
In a democracy, the entire population is sovereign and all authority is based on the consent of the people. This form of government is based on the human ideal of equality. If everyone is born free and equal in rights and obligations (as stated in the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) then no one has more right than anyone else to enact certain laws or make decisions. The application of that theory in political practice is often not easy and has many aspects.
