Answer 2

The correct answer is A) the weak major.

If Smyma's citizens were unhappy with the type of government, the other form of government they would adopt could be the weak major.

In a weak mayor system, outside the council, the mayor has no formal authority or appoint neither remove any official. Under the eak mayor form, the mayor doesn't have the power of veto to override council votes. His personality is the influence he has to get results and accomplish objectives.
