It allows citizens to fulfill their mandatory requirement to vote.

The correct response is Option A: It allows citizens to elect representatives who will pass and enforce laws on their behalf.

Explanation:

One of the fundamental principles of a representative democracy is that citizens elect the government authorities who will represent them. This is the type of system we have in the United States where citizens vote for the Congressmen who will represent them in the House, and the Senators who will represent them in the Senate. One form of being active in the public sphere is to call your representatives or to write letters to let them know the position you have on issues that may be before the House or the Senate.  Your representatives are supposed to consider the constituents who elected them on public policy issues, legislation, and on requests for help with political or government matters like someone needing consular help abroad, for example, or a naturalization application that is taking too long.
