Expert Solution
Step 1

Unity in diversity is a common term that is popular in most nations around the world, where we see how culturally diverse a state is but at the same time it is united through common beliefs and motives. In this answer, we are looking at how California despite having a huge Hispanic population adopted English as the official language under Proposition 63 where English is adopted as the common language of the State. Whether this is a form of domination and how will Marx's theory of conflict and class struggle be applied here is the basis of this answer.
