Answer 1

Answer: d) Federal bureaucrats delay implementation of the new law after it has passed Congress.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pluralist democracy can be described as a kind of political system where there is more than one center of power. This means that the power is allocated in different hands and authorities. This allows the freedom of association. It may exists without democracy.

The congress has passed the law under its authority but it has to be passed or implemented by the federal bureaucrats as the power is allocated to the different centers under the pluralist model of democracy.
