The correct answer is D. Popular sovereignty
Explanation:
Popular sovereignty is a political doctrine in which government and other political and administrative decisions derive from citizens. This usually implies citizens elect representatives and have a great influence on politics.
This principle is the one people lack in the passage because the author describes people who cannot manage public affairs "has kept us in a sort of permanent infancy with regard to public affairs". This means people are not deciding over government or internal administration and therefore there is no popular sovereignty.
This question is not able to have an answer because there is no audio. Is this on a K12 Spanish test?
The answer is C. Because it gave the most excitement to the sentence cuz its like hurry up cuz something is coming or they late etc.
Hope This Helps !
