In a modern democracy, a government is?

A. a contract between the rulers and the ruled
B. a preserve of the political party in power
C. monopoly of the ethnic groups in the majority
D. alternation of power between the minority and majority tribes

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

Modern democracy in many ways is the opposite of ancient democracy. Modern democracy requires that there must be a constitution, that there must be equality before the law, there must be individual rights and liberties, there must be civil rights and liberties, there must be human rights and there must be the rule of law to enforce those rights and liberties. In modern democracy, governance is a contract between the citizens and the ruled. This means that, the citizens choose people who would represent them (usually through elections) at various levels for a particular period of time, and these representatives are accountable to the people.
