What does the excerpt suggest is essential for maintaining governmental legitimacy?

In these challenging times, the state must act as a vehicle for the people’s aspirations to secure a prosperous future for all. The intricate interplay between government action and public expectation forms the bedrock of our national policies. It is through understanding and responding to the collective voice that a government maintains its legitimacy. Faced with economic and social hardships, we have learned that an active dialogue between leaders and citizens can foster resilience.

Consequently, the continuous feedback derived from public sentiment shapes the very architecture of our policies.
