which option defines the principle of political equality?
a citizens are only obligated to follow the laws they approve.
b voters agree on which laws politicians should enforce.
c taxpayers only propose and lobby for new federal laws.
d individuals should be treated the same under the law.

Explanation:

Political equality centers on equal political rights and treatment for all citizens. Option A is incorrect because citizens must follow laws regardless of personal approval. Option B is wrong as voters rarely unanimously agree on laws. Option C is false because non-taxpayers (e.g., eligible voters not paying taxes) can also engage in law-related activities. Option D aligns with political equality, as equal treatment under the law ensures no citizen is politically disadvantaged.

Answer:

D. Individuals should be treated the same under the law.
