Answer 2

They are elected by the people , is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Social contract theory is a theory that emerged during the Enlightenment period. According to this theory, people in society lives with an agreement, an agreement which sets political and moral rules of behaviour. According to this theory, people willingly render some of their freedoms to the authority in return of protection or security to their remaining rights. In this way, the people elect the leaders to rule them.
