Eli Whitney is credited with developing and promoting this manufacturing system in the United States, which requires all parts to be nearly identical and meet strict tolerances.

What is the primary societal consequence of Pakistan’s *biradari* system on its democratic structure?
💡 Explanation:The *biradari* (kinship/clan) system is a deeply ingrained traditional social structure in Pakistan that significantly influences the political process. It often determines electoral alliances, candidate selection, and voting patterns, leading to the consolidation of kinship-based politics rather than politics based purely on political ideology or policy platforms. This mechanism reinforces local power structures and patronage networks, which can challenge the ideal functioning of a modern democratic structure.
