MCQ

The basis of democracy can be attributed to_________.

  • A
    Periodic elections.
  • B
    One-time election.
  • C
    No elections.
  • D
    Rule of law.

Answer

  1. Periodic elections.

Explanation:

The possibility of controlling leaders by requiring them to submit to regular and periodic elections helps to solve the problem of succession in leadership and thus contributes to the continuation of democracy. Moreover, where the electoral process is competitive and forces candidates or parties to expose their records and future intentions to popular scrutiny, elections serve as forums for the discussion of public issues and facilitate the expression of public opinion. Elections thus provide political education for citizens and ensure the responsiveness of democratic governments to the will of the people.
