The correct answer is D. Democracies believe in the equality of all individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Democracy is a government system in which citizens participate in the decisions of government either by directly voting to take a decision (direct democracy) or by choosing representatives who should defend the interests of citizens. Besides this, on of the principles of democracy that makes it different to other systems such as aristocracy or monarchy is that all the individuals are equal which means in terms of law they will have the same treatment including rights but also penalties and no of them will receive benefits over others. Therefore, in "All people are to be viewed in the same way by the eyes of the law" the principle of democracy that is being illustrated is "Democracies believe in the equality of all individuals" because this equality is expressed by the way individuals are treated according to law.
