Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The statement "In a democracy, rulers were not elected by the people" is false because democracy means power to the people. It means ordinary people have the right to choose anyone as the representative. If the government is not working adequately, then the people also have the power to overthrow the government. Democracy is not something that empowers the ruling government. Democracy empowers the people because people can choose their representatives. If they find a false government, people also have the power to declinate (fall) the government by surrendering it.
The correct statement would be In a democracy, the people elect rulers.
