Answer: The answer is A is based on the representation of people through elected officials.

Explanation:

Representative government is defined as a government constituted by the elected representatives of the people who are elected into positions for the purpose of holding power and authority in trust for the people. The main features of representative government includes party system, separation of powers of the arms of government by the constitution, the concept of majority rule, while the minority will have a say, the choice of leaders through an election which usually occur every four years, The government also allows the people the right to take part in the decision making process of their country. The representative government also makes the elected leaders accountable to the electorate in the sense that if they perform better while they were elected to represent them either in the executive arm of the government or in the legislative arm of the government, they can be re- elected back into office at the end of their tenure for another term in office,but if they do not perform up to the expectation of the people then the people will use their voting power to vote them out.

The government is based on the rule of law, the administration is based solely on the respect for the rule of law and obedience to the provisions of the constitution by the elected political leaders. The constitution spelt out what will be the functions of each arms of government.
