Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A bigger society would have more interests and different political views. In a smaller society (for example 1,000 people), everyone could have the same idea, and if they didn't like the current government, they would all protest because nobody else has a different view (for example democrat vs republican. Now in a bigger society (30,000) people, those 1,000 people would be a minority group as there are more people who have different ideas.
