Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Direct democracies promote freedom of choice and voting rights while monarchies are led by a single ruler whose word is law.

Explanation:

• In a direct democracy, the emphasis is on the participation of the people in decision-making processes. Citizens have the right to vote and express their opinions, making choices about laws and policies directly rather than through representatives.

• In contrast, monarchies are typically characterized by a single ruler (such as a king or queen) who holds significant power, often inherited through family lineage. In this system, the ruler's decisions are considered law, and the general population may have limited influence over governance.

Therefore, the first response accurately captures the distinction between the two systems, as it highlights the democratic principles of choice and voter involvement in direct democracies compared to the authoritative and singular command of a monarch.
