a) the intelligence and character of ordinary men and women. b) the methods for strengthening executing leadership c) a superior individual with dynamism and vision. d) a band of dedicated party workers.
The correct answer is Option 1.
Democracy
It is a form of government in which citizens elect their representatives through voting. Because democracy requires people to make decisions through voting, the process involves people’s intelligence and character.
The object of government, according to John Stuart Mill, is the attainment of values and virtues in men and their self-development, the government must be of those whose self-development is sought.
In a democracy, the right to vote allows citizens to exercise their rights and ensures adherence to moral values or character traits such as justice and equality. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
