Explanation:

Pluralism is an American theory of governance that states that political power is controlled by several groups of people and not the citizens as a whole. These several groups of people constitute organizations, activists, environmentalists, and other impactful groups who seek recognition and acceptance from the populace and who make decisions that affect the citizens. One attribute of Pluralism is the fact that no single elite or groups of elites control decision making in governance.

The groups of people have powers that are limited in scope and regulated by competition with other groups. Moreso, these groups seek approval from the populace and that is why opinion polls, surveys, elections, etc., are carried out in order to ascertain which entities are more popular with the people.
