Which is a principle of political democracy that underpins universal suffrage and political equality?
One man, one vote One man, one vote (or one person, one vote) is a principle of political democracy that underpins universal suffrage and political equality. During the 20th-century period of decolonisation and the struggles for national sovereignty, from the late 1940s onwards this phrase became widely used in developing countries where majority populations sought to gain political power in proportion to their numbers.
