Which principle is strengthened by the right to vote in democracy?

Correct answer: Political equality

Direct answer: C, Political equality. The right to vote gives citizens an equal political opportunity to influence government, regardless of wealth, caste, gender, family background or social position, subject to lawful voting rules. Reasoning: each eligible citizen receives a vote; votes are counted according to the same procedure; one person's vote is not officially worth more because that person is rich or powerful. A, dynasty rule, is wrong because dynasty gives office through family inheritance rather than equal public choice. B, militarism, means giving excessive political importance to the armed forces and is unrelated to voting equality. C, political equality, is correct because voting makes citizens equal participants in choosing rulers. D, foreign control, is the opposite of self-government. Memory cue: one person, one vote, one equal political value.
