You are correct! A representative government is a form of government in which the people elect representatives to make decisions and enact laws on their behalf. In this system, the elected representatives are responsible for representing the interests and concerns of the people and making decisions that best serve the public. This allows citizens to participate in the governing process by choosing individuals who they believe will effectively represent their views and interests. To arrive at this answer, you eliminated options A and B since they involve a single person or religious leaders governing, which is not representative of a representative government. Option D is also incorrect because it suggests that Congress elects a president, whereas in a representative government, the people typically elect the president directly or indirectly through an electoral college system. Therefore, option C, "People elect representatives," is the correct answer.
