One person, one vote, one value

Direct answer: A, every vote has equal value. Political equality in elections means that eligible voters are treated equally when their votes are counted. A wealthy person, public official, famous leader, or member of a particular social group does not receive extra voting weight merely because of status. Option A expresses the democratic principle commonly remembered as ‘one person, one vote, one value.’ Option B is wrong because limiting voting to wealthy people creates inequality. Option C is wrong because representatives do not receive a more valuable vote simply because they hold office; their personal vote is not superior to another eligible citizen’s vote. Option D is wrong because giving some people multiple votes would make their influence greater and destroy equal value. Equality of votes does not mean all candidates win equally; it means each valid vote counts equally in deciding the result. Memory cue: equal citizens, equal voting value.

Direct answer: C, political equality. The principle “one person, one vote” means that each eligible citizen has one vote and each vote has equal value. Democracy does not give extra voting power because someone is rich, powerful, male, belongs to a particular family, or follows a particular religion. The rule creates equal political status: citizens participate in choosing representatives on the same basis. A is wrong because hereditary privilege gives benefits because of birth, which is opposite to equal citizenship. B is wrong because religious bias gives preference to one religion rather than treating citizens equally. C is correct because it expresses equality in political participation and voting power. D is wrong because foreign control means decisions are made by an outside power, not by equal citizens. Memory cue: one person plus one vote plus equal value equals political equality. Do not confuse this with equal results; it specifically concerns equal political voice.

Correct answer: C — one person, one vote expresses political equality. The principle means that each eligible citizen receives one vote and each vote has equal value in choosing representatives. It rejects the idea that a wealthy, powerful, or socially privileged person should receive extra voting power. Option A is wrong because government secrecy concerns information, not equal voting rights. Option B is wrong because the principle limits the importance of wealth in voting power rather than supporting it. Option D is wrong because hereditary power passes authority through family and is not based on equal citizen choice. Remember: “one person, one vote, one value” means equal political status in elections.

The correct answer is A: political equality means that every eligible voter has an equal political voice. In an election, the vote of a poor citizen and the vote of a wealthy citizen count as one vote each. A leader, a taxpayer, or a person with more property does not receive an extra vote merely because of status or wealth. This principle prevents political power from being reserved for a privileged group. Option A is correct because it expresses “one person, one vote, one value.” Option B is wrong because elected representatives do not receive a more valuable vote as citizens in the election. Option C is wrong because paying more tax does not create extra voting power. Option D is wrong because property is not the basis for the value of a citizen’s vote. Memory cue: equal citizenship means equal voting value, not equal wealth or identical opinions.

Correct answer: B, political equality. The phrase “one person, one vote, one value” means that every eligible citizen has one vote and every vote has equal importance. It does not matter whether a voter is rich or poor, powerful or ordinary, male or female, or from a socially privileged or disadvantaged group. Elections therefore treat citizens as politically equal participants. A is wrong because hereditary privilege gives special status by birth, which is opposite to equality. C is wrong because secrecy of administration is not the principle being tested; secret voting is only a method for protecting voter choice. D is wrong because democracy gives citizens political power rather than making them powerless. Memory cue: equal vote means equal political voice.

Direct answer: A, political rights should not depend on wealth. The democratic principle of one person, one vote, one value means that each eligible citizen’s vote has equal weight in choosing representatives. A rich person may possess more property or income, but that does not give the person extra voting power. This expresses political equality: citizens may differ in wealth, education, occupation or social position, yet they are equal as members of the political community. Option A is correct because democracy does not make the right to participate dependent on economic status. Option B is the opposite of equal voting value and is therefore wrong. Option C is wrong because excluding poor citizens would violate political equality and make representation incomplete. Option D is wrong because democratic politics is not supposed to be based only on property. Equal voting power does not mean that everyone has identical life experiences; it means that every eligible citizen receives the same formal value in the election. Memory cue: money may differ, but vote value must not.

The correct answer is A, political equality. In a democracy, every eligible citizen’s vote carries the same basic value, whether the voter is rich or poor, powerful or ordinary, male or female, or from a majority or minority group. This idea is expressed as “one person, one vote, one value.” Elections must therefore count each valid vote equally instead of giving extra weight to a person because of wealth, family status, education, or official position. Option A is correct because equal voting power shows political equality. Option B is wrong because rule by a king does not depend on equal votes. Option C is wrong because foreign control means decisions are controlled from outside, not by equal citizens. Option D is wrong because a voting ban prevents participation rather than protecting equality. Memory cue: equal citizens plus equal votes equals political equality.

Direct answer: D is correct. The democratic principle is one person, one vote, one value. Each eligible citizen's vote should have the same weight, regardless of wealth, caste, religion, gender, occupation or social influence. This expresses political equality: citizens may differ in income or opinions, but they are equal participants in choosing representatives. A is wrong because wealth must not buy extra political power. B is wrong because holding office or being a leader does not give a person's vote greater value than another eligible citizen's vote. C is wrong because poverty cannot reduce a citizen's political voice. Equal voting value does not mean that every candidate receives the same number of votes; it means each individual vote is counted equally. Memory cue: one person, one vote, one value.

Direct answer: A, every eligible voter’s vote should have equal value. This expresses political equality: citizens who meet the voting eligibility rules participate on an equal basis, and one person’s vote is not made stronger because of wealth, education, tax payment, job, or social position. Equal value does not mean that every voter has identical opinions; it means the electoral system counts each eligible voter’s vote equally. Option B is wrong because paying more tax does not create a superior political vote. Option C is wrong because elected representatives do not receive extra value in ordinary voting merely because they hold office. Option D is wrong because education cannot be used to rank citizens’ political rights. Option A is correct and reflects the principle ‘one person, one vote, one value’. Memory cue: equal citizens, equal vote value.

Correct answer: A, political equality. In a democracy, each eligible citizen has one vote, and each vote should carry the same weight. This expresses the idea that citizens are politically equal, even if they differ in income, caste, religion, education, or social position. Equal voting power helps ensure that government represents citizens rather than only powerful groups. Option A is correct because it names this principle directly. Option B is wrong because hereditary rule gives power through family succession, not equal voting. Option C is wrong because secret administration concerns how government works, not the value of votes. Option D is wrong because wealth must not buy extra voting power. Memory cue: “one person, one vote, one value”—one voter cannot legally receive more political weight because of money.

Correct answer: B, equality of vote value. Democracy treats eligible voters as political equals. A rich person may have more money, but that money must not make his or her vote stronger than the vote of a poor person. The principle is commonly expressed as one person, one vote, one value. Option B is correct because it describes the exact violation in the question. A is wrong because campaign freedom concerns the ability of candidates or parties to communicate with voters; it is not about unequal voting weight. C is wrong because polling-booth convenience concerns access and arrangements for voting. D is wrong because candidate eligibility concerns who may contest, not how much a voter’s ballot counts. Memory cue: wealth may differ, but voting power must not differ.

Correct answer: A. A person must meet the legal eligibility requirements and be registered on the electoral roll for the relevant constituency to vote there. Being a candidate, campaigner, or counting officer does not by itself establish a person’s right to vote.

Correct answer: A. The principle “one person, one vote, one value” means that every eligible citizen is entitled to one vote and that each person’s vote should carry equal weight in the democratic process. The rule prevents extra voting power from being assigned because of wealth, status, caste, gender, or political position. A is correct because it directly states equal voting rights and equal value. B is wrong because it suggests multiple votes for one candidate, which violates equal participation. C is wrong because no single officer is entitled to decide the whole result. D is wrong because democracy does not mean permanent rule by one party; voters must be able to choose among alternatives. Memory cue: one eligible person gets one equal voice—not extra votes and not a privileged vote.

Direct answer: A, political equality. The principle means that each eligible voter has one vote and that one voter’s vote is not counted as more valuable than another’s because of wealth, caste, gender or social position. This gives citizens equal political standing in choosing representatives. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because economic inequality means unequal wealth or resources, not equal voting power. Option C is wrong because hereditary rule gives authority through family descent rather than through equal voting. Option D is wrong because property-based voting would give special political power to people who own more property and would violate equal citizenship. The principle does not mean that all citizens have identical opinions; it means that each eligible voter receives equal voting weight. Memory cue: one person, one vote, equal value expresses political equality.

Direct answer: A, political equality. The principle “one person, one vote, one value” means that each eligible citizen has one vote and each vote should carry equal weight in choosing representatives. It rejects the idea that a person’s vote should count more because of wealth, family status, caste, office, or social influence. A is correct because equal voting power expresses political equality. B is wrong because dynastic rule gives importance to family succession, not equal citizen choice. C is wrong because money power can distort equality instead of strengthening it. D is wrong because the principle seeks to reduce political inequality. This principle does not mean that all citizens have identical opinions; it means their votes have equal value in the electoral process. Memory cue: equal people at the ballot box means equal political voice.

Direct answer: A is correct. The principle ‘one person, one vote, one value’ expresses political equality. Every eligible citizen is entitled to one vote, and each valid vote should have equal importance in deciding the result. A person’s wealth, caste, education, job, gender, or social status should not give that person extra voting power. B is wrong because allowing one person several votes would make citizens unequal and would give some people excessive influence. C is wrong because democracy does not reserve voting rights only for wealthy people. D is wrong because public officials do not possess a special voting privilege in general elections. Equal value does not mean that every candidate receives the same number of votes; it means that each voter’s vote is counted according to the same rule. Memory cue: political equality means one eligible citizen gets one equally valued vote.

Correct answer: A. Political equality means that citizens have equal political worth in the electoral process. In practice, this is expressed by the principle of one person, one vote, one value: every eligible voter’s vote is counted equally, regardless of income, tax payment, education, caste or social position. Option B is wrong because wealth or tax payment cannot buy extra political power. Option C is wrong because education is not a fair basis for taking away adult citizens’ voting rights. Option D is wrong because all valid votes must be counted, including votes cast for parties that do not win. A fair election is not only about holding a polling day; it must also treat voters equally and count their choices properly. Memory cue: equal citizens mean equal voting value.

The correct answer is A, political equality. The principle means that each eligible person has one vote and that every vote has equal political value. A person’s wealth or social position should not give their vote greater weight.

Correct answer: A. The principle “one person, one vote, one value” expresses political equality. Each eligible voter is entitled to cast one vote, and that vote should not count for more merely because the voter is wealthy, powerful, male, from a particular group or socially influential. A is correct because it identifies the inequality of unequal vote value. B is not the answer: giving everyone an equal voting right is part of the principle, but the question asks which inequality it prevents, and the clearest answer is that one person’s vote must not be valued above another’s. C is wrong because nomination concerns candidates entering the contest, not the weight of votes. D is wrong because opening a polling station concerns arrangements for voting. Memory cue: one voter, one equal political voice.
