Final answer:
The provided exercises do not address the question about pass-through voting rights in stock bonus plans. These exercises discuss U.S. political history and constitutional law specifically related to voting rates, colonial governors' rights, and women's suffrage in the Revolutionary Era. so, option b is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that participants in a stock bonus plan must have pass-through voting rights for the stock held by the plan is not addressed in the provided exercises. These exercises instead deal with topics related to U.S. political history and constitutional law. Exercise 5 asks about voting rates in the United States compared to other countries, Exercise 6.1.3 relates to the powers of colonial governors, and Exercise 9.1.4 asks about women's suffrage during the Revolutionary Era.
However, if we look at this question from a business and ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) standpoint, employees often have pass-through voting rights on the shares allocated to their accounts in stock bonus plans, particularly in plans that are part of an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan).
