If rules are equal in an institution but behaviour is biased, which goal of broader democracy is incomplete?

Correct answer: Turning formal equality into practical equality

The correct answer is A. Equal written rules are important, but democracy also requires those rules to be applied fairly in real situations. If an institution says that everyone is equal but treats some people with bias, equality remains only on paper. Practical equality means that people receive fair treatment, a genuine opportunity to participate, and equal respect when decisions are made. Option B is wrong because removing rules would usually increase arbitrariness rather than fairness. Option C is wrong because hiding decisions reduces transparency and does not solve bias. Option D is wrong because stopping participation moves away from democracy. To solve the question, compare the rule with actual behaviour: when the rule is equal but practice is biased, the missing goal is practical equality. Memory cue: equal words must become equal treatment.
