Why does universal adult franchise increase the moral strength of elections?

Correct answer: Because it gives an equal political voice to all adult citizens

Correct answer: C. Universal adult franchise means that all adult citizens who meet the legal requirements can vote, without discrimination based on education, wealth, caste, religion, gender or social position. This gives the government a moral basis because its authority is connected with the consent of the people, not with the privilege of a small group. The idea is closely linked with political equality: each eligible citizen has one vote and each vote has equal value. A is wrong because education is not the condition for equal voting rights. B is wrong because hereditary rule passes power through family, not public choice. D is wrong because adult franchise supports participation and does not stop counting. Memory cue: universal means all, adult means eligible grown-up citizens, and franchise means the right to vote.
