Solution

In a democracy, the ultimate source of power must rest with the people because democracy is based on the principle of popular sovereignty. When power lies with the people, the government is elected by citizens and remains accountable to them. It also helps prevent the misuse of power and ensures that leaders work for the public interest. Citizens can choose their representatives and replace them through elections if they are dissatisfied. This makes the system fair, just and truly democratic.
