Answer: Pluralism is the idea that if citizens participate, electoral and policy outcomes will result that are favored by participants. It also argues that resources will even themselves out aka, if one group has money the other with have numbers and no group will have it all. And that racial groups will not form because coalition groups will form around causes not racial identity. This theory doesn't acknowledge that racial minorities are often not able to participate in the political process; pluralism assumes equal access to the political process. Pluralism also suggests that different groups will win depending on the issue, and the flux between majority and minority groups. It also suggest multiple access points to government which is not always true.
