Sentence 3: "In a democracy, elected leaders make decisions."
Explanation: A direct object receives the action of the verb. In sentence 3, "decisions" receives the action of "make," so it is the direct object.
Sentence 1 has a linking verb ("are") with a predicate adjective ("very powerful"), not a direct object. In sentence 2, "people" is an indirect object (they receive something); "the laws" would be the direct object.
