Answer 1

Based on the passage, the author seems to support the idea that democracy is fundamentally about conversation and engaging with public views. Therefore, the statement that best aligns with this perspective is:

The ratification process allows governors to reflect public views.

This option emphasizes the role of governors (as representatives of the people) in a democratic framework that encourages conversation and public input. The other statements do not align as closely with the author's view expressed in the passage.
