Question on: JAMB Government - 1998

In a democracy, the ultimate authority rests with the people. This is because the government derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed. The people exercise this authority through various means such as voting, participation in civil society, and holding elected officials accountable. While the electorate (A) is a component, "People" is a broader and more encompassing term. The head of state (C) and the armed forces (D) are components of the government but do not possess ultimate authority.
