Answer: The primary characteristics of Pluralism include;

1. Neutrality of the Government

2. Accessibility to power and resources by all members of the society

3. The actual power lies on the common man.

Explanation:

1. Neutrality of the Government: The state is not run like an authoritarian affair where the commands of the leader are final. This allows for the three arms of government which serves to regulate the affairs of those in power.

2. Accessibility to power and resources by the common man: People are free to air their views and protest actions by the government that they find questionable.

3. The actual power which lies on the common man: The power of the common man is accountable for the democratic nature of the state. People, therefore, have a say in the government of the day.

The main criticisms of Pluralism are;

1. The Elite Pluralism Critics: They argue that despite the objectives of this concept (classical Pluralism), in reality, power lies in the hands of a few in most states. This makes it difficult for the opinions of the local people to be heard.

2. Corporatism: These critics argue that just a few formal groups are consulted during the formulation of laws, thus relegating the vast majority of interest groups.

3. Neo - Pluralism - These critics believe that the government put their interests over that of corporations.
