8 0

The correct answer is C. Citizens elect representatives who vote on their behalf to make policy.

Explanation:

In politics, a democracy is a type of government in which the citizens own the power to make decisions related to the government. Additionally, democracies are classified as direct or true democracies if people owned the power and directly take the decisions or as representative democracies if people vote to elect representatives that take the decisions in behalf of all citizens. This implies, in nations such as the United States and many other in which there are representatives such as mayors, vice-president, president, senators, etc. who take the decisions in behalf of all the citizens the democracy is representative rather than true or direct democracy. Therefore, the reason why the United States is not a true democracy is that citizens elect representatives who vote on their behalf to make policy.
