Which government officials are elected by the people?

  1. Mayor

  2. Legislative body

  3. Supreme court judges

  4. Chief justice

The correct answer is: Mayor

City mayors are typically elected by the people in a democratic election. Legislative bodies, such as Congress, are made up of elected officials, but they are not directly elected by the people. Supreme court judges and chief justices are typically appointed by elected officials rather than being directly elected by the people. Therefore, the correct answer is A, as mayors are the only government officials on the list who are typically directly elected by the people.
