The type of government in which citizens have a say in what happens is known as democracy. Option A is correct.

Democracy is a system of government where the citizens exercise power and their right by voting. In a representative democracy the electorate vote for representatives from among themselves.

In a constitutional democracy the powers of the majority are exercised within the framework of a representative democracy, but the constitution restrains the majority and provides protection to the minority.
