If one citizen's vote is counted twice and another's once, how can the nature of majority change?

Correct answer: Majority may be formed by unequal weight rather than equal citizen will

The direct answer is A: the majority may be formed by unequal weight rather than equal citizen will. A democratic majority should be based on votes that have the same value. Reasoning: suppose Citizen 1’s vote is counted twice and Citizen 2’s vote once. The final total then reflects a rule that gives Citizen 1 more influence, not simply the number of citizens supporting an option. A candidate or decision could therefore appear to have a majority because of weighted votes, even when equal citizens’ preferences do not support it. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because unequal weighting makes the process less democratic, not more. Option C is wrong because a minority does not automatically become a majority; it may only gain artificial numerical power through the weighting rule. Option D is wrong because vote secrecy concerns knowledge of the choice, not how many times a vote is counted. Exam cue: a true democratic majority requires equal votes, not merely a large final total.
