Answer:
C. The people have a voice in the government.
Explanation:
However, this entirely depends on what kind of democracy is in question. The answer C., answers the question if it prioritizes direct democracy over any other, in that the people have direct control of the government and individually can vote for propositions they want or disagree with.
B, can be correct if it is not true democracy, in that it is in human nature in which they would follow what is known as the "elite class". In this case, the government would benefit those who back it, typically with money, as well as power in it of itself, and the government would work towards pushing for benefits for their groups rather than the general public. Both sides of the political spectrum does this.
A & D are both incorrect, as a king is an absolute leader, and both controls all political decisions that occur within the nation.
Always aware of my own unworthiness, I would have kept silent and merely
confessed my shortcomings to God, but all things are good at the right
time. I see the Church which God founded on the Apostles and Prophets
with the cornerstone of Christ his Son, tossed on an angry sea, beaten
by rushing waves, and shaken by the assaults of evil spirits. I see rips
in the seamless robe of Christ which wicked men have tried to pull
apart, and His body cut into pieces (i.e. the word of God and the
ancient tradition of the Church). Because of this I have decided it is
wrong to hold my tongue, remembering the warning in the Bible: “If you
see the sword coming and do not warn your brother, I will hold you
guilty of his blood.”
