Answer:Pluralism

Explanation: Pluralism is based on the idea that many minority and not the people, are in charge of governing the United States. These minority organizations or groups are unions, trade and professional association, civil rights activists, business and financial lobbies, environmentalists, and formal and informal like minded citizens. These groups influences the making and administration of laws and policy, because not every public citizens are part of these groups this means the rest of the people are just bystanders.

Pluralists suggest that democracy isn't desirable because not every public citizen have an expertise to share in the making of policies and they can't be gathered all the time during the policy formulation process because that is close to impossible, to gather all the public citizens all the time when policies are being initiated.
