Answer 1

By the expression “power over the ballot box” we mean that every adult citizen has great power in the right to vote.

1. By voting people elect or replace their representatives. So the elected representatives have to work for the welfare of the people. Otherwise, they may be replaced.
2. The ballot box provides equality with that vote of one person, rich or poor, as good as that of any other.
