Which of the following factors may work against a representative system of government ?

The factor that may work against a representative system of government is the "Rigging of elections". In a representative system of government, the citizens elect representatives who will represent their interests in government. However, if the election process is not free and fair, and the election is rigged, the representatives may not truly represent the interests of the citizens who elected them. Rigging of elections is a form of electoral fraud in which the election process is manipulated or interfered with to achieve a desired outcome. This undermines the credibility of the election and ultimately undermines the legitimacy of the representative system of government.
