Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
In a democracy, rulers are elected by the people based on a universal adult franchise. (A universal adult franchise gives the right to cast a vote to an adult person in a country.) People elect their representatives by casting their votes. Each person can cast only one vote. And every person is treated equally irrespective of their caste, class, gender, race, religion, region, etc. in democratic elections as they are supposed to be free and fair. (Initially, women were not allowed to cast their votes as they were considered to be inferior in society.) Rulers elected by the people are meant to work for the welfare of the people in the country and to help the several disadvantaged groups in society.
