Question

which term is applied to people with a disproportionate share of power?

power hogs

la créme

elites

sovereigns

Explanation:

• "Power hogs" is an informal, pejorative term for people who hoard small-scale power, not a formal sociological term.
• "La créme" (correctly la crème) means the best of a group, not specifically tied to power.
• "Elites" is the formal social science term for a group with a disproportionate share of power, resources, or influence.
• "Sovereigns" refers to rulers with supreme authority (e.g., monarchs), not a general group with disproportionate power.

Answer:

elites
