Consider the following features: 1. Consent of the governed 2. Political equality 3. Accountability of the ruled to the ruler. Which of the above feature/features outline democratic rule?

Democratic rule is characterized by the consent of the governed (people choose their rulers through elections) and political equality (one person, one vote with equal political rights). The third statement is incorrect because in a democracy, the ruler is accountable to the ruled (the people), not the other way around. Accountability of the ruled to the ruler is a feature of authoritarian or monarchical systems. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 outline democratic rule.
