PLEASE ANSWER ASAP OR I FAIL Which of the following is true in a democracy? (4 points)

a
Government leaders have unlimited powers.

b
Citizens are often punished if they criticize leaders.

c
Only candidates approved by current leaders may run for office.

d
Citizens can influence the government.

I believe it is B.) Citizens are often punished if they criticize leaders

I think this is the answer because I have heard that you can get into a lot of trouble for saying certain things about your leaders.

(Example: The USA. You can have an opinion about mainly anything, but criticizing leaders is considered bad because they are the person who was chosen to lead so basically "deal with it". )

(That is how it used to be back in the day 'cause now it seems like you can say all sorts of horrible things and not get in trouble unless it is considered a threat.)

no statements but ok.

the statement that best describes the idea of manifest destiny that was used in the 19th century would be that "it was fate that the united states would continue to  expand westward," since people thought the us was "destined" to do so.
