What are the differences among pluralism, elitism, and hyperpluralism?
A. Pluralism is the form of government that the founders of America thought was best for our country. Elitism is the government the American revolution sought to overthrow. Hyperpluralism is what we call our modified form of the founders' original government.
B. Pluralism states that government should be "for the people, by the people, of the people." Elitism states that government is really ruled by the bureaucracy. Hyperpluralism states that the federal government should be disbanded and we should rely on the 50 state governments instead.
C. Pluralism states that government should be run on the concept of majority rule. Elitism states that only a select few upper-class individuals should have the right to vote. Hyper pluralism states that government should be a combination of the two.
D. Pluralism states that groups compete and check one another's power and influence. Elitism states that a small group of upper-class people have the most influence on government. Hyperpluralism states that interest groups are the real power and that government itself has been weakened by them.
