Why is effective leadership so important in a democratic government? a. democracies have a zero tolerance policy for wrongdoing. b. democracies imprison all politicians after serving in office. c. freedom of press results in a strong media presence and high transparency. d. there are no term limits in a democracy, so leaders can serve indefinitely.

The correct answer is C.

In a democratic country, individuals have significant political power when choosing who represents them and what laws are made. Due to this power, many citizens pay close attention to government actions. This includes the media.

Since technology has come to a place where information can be spread at a rapid pace . This allows journalists to report information about government processes and procedures at an incredible rate. From there, government officials must be accountable to the citizens for their actions.

 This shows why being an effective leader is such an important characteristic, as those who do not prove they are good leaders can be voted out by the public thanks to the term limits established.
