What is a democracy?

A democracy is a system of government in which citizens freely choose representatives to govern the country and make laws on their behalf.
Australia's national gemstone.
A democracy.
Australia's national colours.

The correct answer is: A democracy is a system of government in which citizens freely choose representatives to govern the country and make laws on their behalf.

A democracy is a type of government where citizens have the power to elect their representatives, who then make decisions on their behalf. This allows for a diverse range of voices and opinions to be heard and considered in the decision-making process. Option B, referring to a gemstone, and Option D, referring to national colors, are unrelated to the concept of democracy and are therefore incorrect. Option C is not a full explanation and does not provide any context about the nature or function of a democracy.
