Flow snapshot — how the answer moves
Intro routes
elected delegation replaces direct rule — practical form for large modern states second-best to direct democracy, yet most workable → rests on consent and trust
Body flow
Locke: consent/trust → Mill: ideal modern form → defining feature = delegated decision-making by elected reps → checked by free elections + accountability → rule of law + rights (speech, assembly, religion) → Montesquieu: separation of powers/checks → Tocqueville: associations + pluralism keep participation alive → two models: trusteeship + Burke's enlightened representation
Counter-view
same delegation → elite capture, weak accountability between elections, underrepresentation
Conclusion routes
features make delegated rule both workable and accountable limits met through transparency, inclusivity, stronger accountability
Model answer
Handwritten, in the form it would be written in the examination hall.
