Question

the term balance of power means
two leaders should always share power.
one country should lead and others should follow.
no state should be more powerful than the rest.
states should be equal in all ways.

Explanation:

To determine the correct meaning of "balance of power", we analyze each option:

• "Two leaders should always share power" is incorrect as balance of power relates to states, not just two leaders.
• "One country should lead and others follow" describes hegemony, not balance of power.
• "No state should be more powerful than the rest" aligns with the concept of balance of power, where states aim to prevent any single state from dominating.
• "States should be equal in all ways" is incorrect as balance of power is about relative power, not absolute equality in all aspects.

Answer:

C. no state should be more powerful than the rest.
