What message does equal value of votes of poor and rich give to democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Political rights do not depend on wealth

Equal voting value means that political rights are not officially distributed according to wealth. A poor citizen and a rich citizen may have very different economic resources, but when both are eligible voters, each has one vote with the same formal value. This expresses the democratic idea that government should answer to citizens as political equals. Economic inequality can still affect campaigns, access, or influence in other ways, so equal voting does not remove every social inequality; it establishes an essential legal and political safeguard.

Option A is correct because equal votes show that political rights do not depend on property or income. Options B, C, and D directly deny democratic equality. The statement does not claim that rich and poor have identical lives or identical influence outside the ballot; it concerns the formal value of their votes in the election. Therefore, the ballot gives each eligible citizen equal status in the act of choosing representatives, regardless of personal wealth.
