The protection of citizens' rights is provided by the federal, state, and local government
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
The constitution of a country provides the citizens of the country, certain rights which the citizens can exercise for living a healthy and a peaceful life. These rights can be exercised when the person of the country has been exploited by anyone or anywhere or when he needs any kind of information or even when his grievances are to be redressed. The government at all the levels can take steps to protect the rights of the citizens from being exploited.
A democracy is a government in which political power—influence over institutions, leaders, and policies—rests in the hands of the people. In a representative democracy, however, the citizens do not govern directly. Instead, they elect representatives to make decisions and pass laws on behalf of all the people.
