Answer 1

The statement that best describes the structure of the UN is:

All nations are intended to be equal, but some members have more power than others.

This is reflected in the UN's General Assembly, where each member nation has one vote, indicating equal representation. However, in the Security Council, the five permanent members (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China) have significant power, including the ability to veto resolutions, which creates an imbalance in power among member states.
