Solution

The correct option is A Dewey
Democracy recognizes the worth of a man. It rejects the right of one or a few to rule over the others. Under democracy the community as a whole is the custodian of sovereignty of state.

Dewey says, "The foundation of democracy is faith in the capacities of human nature, faith in human intelligence and in the power of pooled co­operative existence."

Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the persons were not quoted to say these words, hence, incorrect.
