Question

a government can only be considered a democracy if it: a. relies on a constitution to limit the government’s power. b. wins its independence from a tyrannical government. c. gives citizens a voice in deciding on its laws and leadership. d. bases its laws on logic and reason rather than religion.

Explanation:

Democracy is a system where citizens have a say in decision - making processes like law - making and leadership selection. Limiting government power through a constitution (A) is important for a democratic system but not the defining factor. Winning independence from a tyrannical government (B) doesn't automatically make a government democratic. Basing laws on logic and reason rather than religion (D) is related to secularism, not the core of democracy.

Answer:

C. gives citizens a voice in deciding on its laws and leadership.
