What is required for ministers of the Crown to govern according to responsible government principles?

Approval from the monarchy
Support of a majority of elected representatives
Yearly elections
A unanimous vote in the assembly

The correct answer is: Support of a majority of elected representatives

Responsible government principles dictate that ministers of the Crown must have the support of a majority of elected representatives, as this ensures accountability to the people. Approval from the monarchy (option A) is not required as responsible government emphasizes the role of elected officials over the monarchy. Yearly elections (option C) may be a feature of responsible government, but it is not a requirement. A unanimous vote in the assembly (option D) is also not necessary as it is unrealistic for there to be complete agreement among all members of the assembly. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as it best captures the essence of responsible government principles.
