Correct answer: B. Value
Explanation: The direct answer is B: value. In the phrase “one person, one vote, one value,” the word “value” tells us how much importance or effect each vote has. The phrase has three linked parts. “One person” identifies the individual citizen, “one vote” gives that citizen a single ballot, and “one value” says that the ballot must count as much as every other eligible citizen’s ballot. Option B is therefore correct. Option A, person, refers to who participates, not to equal importance. Option C, vote, refers to the ballot itself, but by itself it does not state that all ballots have equal weight. Option D, one, expresses the idea of single or equal quantity, but the particular word that directly shows importance is “value.” Do not confuse equal number with equal effect: a system may give everyone one ballot but still be unfair if some ballots receive extra weight. Memory cue: value means voting importance.
