The statement that best describes a disadvantage of indirect democracy over direct democracy is that it is not a guarantee that individual voices will be considered.

In an indirect democracy, like in the United States, people vote to elect their representatives in Congress and for the President of the country. These representatives are the ones who make rules and have to listen to the people to know their demands and necessities in order to create better laws. But the disadvantage is that there is no guarantee that individual voices will be heard and then, considered. Representatives had to do what benefits the majority of people.

The other options of the question were A) it is inefficient when there are few issues to discuss, C) it require more time and energy from the citizens, and D) it works better for large populations than for small ones.

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people.
