Cevap

Proposal 1 represents elite democracy, Proposal 2 represents participatory democracy, and Proposal 3 represents pluralist democracy.
Proposal 1 aligns with elite democracy because it limits decision-making power to a select group of wealthy developers and credentialed experts who hold disproportionate influence. Proposal 2 represents participatory democracy because it emphasizes broad, direct participation by ordinary citizens in local governance. Proposal 3 aligns with pluralist democracy because it views policymaking as a process of compromise and competition among various organized interest groups, such as tenant unions and business coalitions.
