Answer 1

Answer:

The primary goal of the principle of representative democracy is that elected representatives follow the will of the people. The correct answer is B, "Legislators vote on laws on behalf of the citizens".

Explanation:

In modern societies is impossible to have complete direct democracy due to their size and complexity. It is also interesting to have a representative democracy because this way the process of deciding whether or not a specific topic is important or what decision to make becomes a public matter that is discussed by society as a whole.
