If all adult citizens get the vote but women's votes are counted half, which conclusion is correct?

Correct answer: Votes do not have equal value

The direct answer is B: votes do not have equal value. Universal franchise means that all eligible adult citizens are allowed to vote, but democracy also requires equal weight for each vote. Reasoning: women receive the right to vote; however, each woman’s vote is counted as only half; therefore one citizen’s vote has less political effect than another’s. The right exists formally, but equality is violated in practice. Option A is wrong because universal franchise is not fully equal when some votes are reduced. Option B is correct because unequal counting creates unequal vote value. Option C is irrelevant: half-counting does not prove that women participate more. Option D is wrong because an election cannot become fairer by discriminating against one group. Remember to check both access to voting and the weight given to every vote.
