Who believed that democracies have dominance of elite class ?
Answer: B
The thinker is Vilfredo Pareto (spelt 'Vilfred' in the paper).
Pareto, with Gaetano Mosca and Robert Michels, is a founder of classical elite theory. He held that every society, democracy included, is ruled by a minority elite, and that history is a 'graveyard of aristocracies' as one elite replaces another, his circulation of elites.
S.M. Lipset studied the social requisites of democracy, C.B. Macpherson its liberal-democratic theory, and Samuel Huntington its waves of spread; none argued that democracy is in essence elite rule.
