Answer» 1. The teacher arranges a discussion session. 2. The students will be divided into two groups to discuss on the above content. Universal Adult Franchise: The Article 326 of the Indian Constitution grants universal adult suffrage, according to which every adult citizen is entitled to cast his/her vote in all state elections unless that citizen is convicted of certain criminal offences (or) deemed unsound of mind. Why is it important ? 1. It has nothing to do with economic growth, or staying ahead, of the competition. Under this system a government is elected that is accountable to the people it governs. 2. Because every vote counts, issues in a society receive their appropriate weight in terms of importance and urgency. , |
