Which power theory best describes how power is actually distributed in the United States?

I’d like to have 6 pages research paper, 1 page of abstract of the paper, and title + reference pages.
Words below are the copy-paste from the prompt.

Topic:
There are several theories that explain power relations in the United States (pluralism, state autonomy, elite theory, Marxism, and class-domination). One could make an argument that any of these power theories are best suited for explaining how power is distributed in the United States. This brings us to your research question: which power theory best describes how power is actually distributed in the United States?

Content requirements:
Your introduction must include a thesis. Bold it. Remember, a thesis should be an argument that you return to throughout your paper. Your goal as a researcher is to make your thesis as credible as possible.
You must discuss all of the power theories in your paper. Use separate paragraphs for each power theory (you may use more than one paragraph on each power theory).
You must include a discussion of political participation, political institutions, and public policy in the United States (these are the main themes for Unit 2, 3, and 4). I recommend intertwining these discussions with each power theory.
You must cite outside sources in your paper. I expect a minimum of one peer-reviewed journal article per power theory. You may also use other sources to strengthen your paper, but the quality of your sources will impact your grade (e.g., don’t use Wikipedia or poor-quality sources). If you decide to cite an academic book, you’re telling the reader that you have read the entire book – not just taken a portion of it out of context from Google.

Paper format:
Follow APA formatting requirements for your paper. You must use both in-text parenthetical citations as well as a full citation in the references page. When possible, use doi links in place of html links.
You must use 12pt Times New Roman font all around.
You must have one-inch margins all around.
Double-space your paper. Do not put additional space between paragraphs, titles, etc.
Begin your paper with a title page and an abstract. Follow the example on Purdue OWL’s website.
Your paper must be 4-6 pages in length. The page limit does not include your title page, abstract page, or references page(s); 4-6 pages of content plus your references.
Number your pages (in the top right corner). The title of your paper should not be in the header.
The main body of your paper must be essay format. This means an introduction, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Indent each paragraph and do not include bullet points. Your introduction should have a roadmap of what is to follow.
