Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that in pluralism, groups compete for access to decision making with no one group dominating. Both the wealthy and the non-wealthy have the ability to influence the government's policy agenda.
2, Note that elite theory suggests that the upper class has greater influence over decision making, thus the wealthy control policy decisions.
3 Argue in favor of one of these. If supporting pluralist theory, note that many different groups gain different access points. If supporting elite theory, note that certain groups have access to greater resources and are therefore in a beneficial position.
