Answer 1

Answer: (D)

the idea of political inequality

Democracies are based on political equality. All individuals have equal weight in electing representatives. Parallel to the process of bringing individuals into the political arena on an equal footing, we find growing economic inequalities. A small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and incomes, on the other hand, those who are on the bottom of the economy sometimes find it difficult to meet their basic needs of life such as food, clothing, house, education, and health.
