Answer 1

Answer:

d) in a republic, elected individuals, rather than citizens themselves, have the direct power to make most governmental decisions

Explanation:

In a republic state, the power is held by the people and their elected representatives, who choose a president instead of a monarch. On the other hand, a democracy is a system formed by the whole population, who usually chooses their representatives. As a result, the direct power in a republic is held by the people's representatives in the Congress, while power in a democracy is typically held by the population itself.
