Passage:
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it, in the context of the passage.
If the rule of reason in the region of thought is the aim of science, the rule of equality in the region of behavior is the aim of democracy. Democracy is not a political arrangement or a form of government. It is a pattern of life, an active conviction which informs and inspires every thought, word and deed. Our present constitution of society induces in its more fortunate members far too great readiness to accept privilege as though it were inherent in the social order, as though it were normal and even proper and just.
If we are sincere in our profession of democracy, we should not shut our eyes to the most obvious defects of the present social order. A system which does not offer security and decent employment to multitudes of trained young men suffers from fundamental vice. Society is in danger of splitting to pieces if the few who have the benefits of civilization are not willing to share them with the rest. No state is stable unless it procures for all its members the essentials of a good life. We acknowledge that health is better than disease, sufficiency better than poverty, shelter better than cold and exposure, ease of mind better than racking anxiety. It is our duty to obtain these essentials of civilized life for the mass of the population, to work for basic economic justice for all, if necessary, by the imposition of higher taxes on incomes, land, value and inheritance. Riches were created by the maker for being spent on social purpose.
90: What is the fundamental tenet of democracy according to the author?
A Right to choose representatives
B Right to stand for the public offices
