A country makes policies based on the beliefs of its citizens. Any proposal supported by a majority of citizens becomes law for the entire country. However, only wealthy property owners have the right to become citizens, and they represent just a small fraction of the total population. Because only landowners are citizens, the government's policies often favor the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

The correct answer is D. The government described in the passage most reflects the features of a direct democracy.

Direct democracy, also called pure democracy, is a form of democracy, in which power is exercised directly by the people in an assembly. Depending on the powers of this assembly, citizens could approve or repeal laws, as well as elect public officials. Direct democracy was exercised in Ancient Greece.
