Option 1 states that both Statement I and Statement II are individually true and that Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

Statement I suggests that a public expression of dissatisfaction with democracy indicates the success of the democratic project. It argues that such an expression transforms people from the status of a subject into that of a citizen. This means that by openly expressing dissatisfaction with democracy, citizens are actively participating in the democratic process, engaging in critical thinking, and exercising their rights and responsibilities as citizens. This aligns with the idea that democracy thrives on active participation and engagement from its citizens.

Statement II builds upon this concept by stating that the fact that people are complaining is itself an affirmation of the success of democracy. It argues that people`s complaints demonstrate a developed awareness and the ability to critically evaluate the government. In other words, the act of complaining implies an active engagement with the democratic process and an understanding of one`s rights and obligations as a citizen.

Option 1 concludes that both statements are true and that Statement II correctly explains Statement I. This means that the act of public dissatisfaction with democracy not only indicates the success of the democratic project but also reflects citizens` active participation and critical thinking in the democratic process.
