Why do you think our national movement supported the idea that all adults have a right to vote?
The national movement in India supported the idea that all adults should have the right to vote because of their strong belief in equality, participation, and democracy. The universal adult franchise was considered integral to ensure active citizen involvement in the country's decision-making processes. It was also intended to make the government accountable and sensitive to people's needs and demands. Through the right to vote, every adult citizen could play an active role in choosing their representatives and demonstrating their consent to the democratic government.

Explain the role of Parliament in making laws.
The Parliament plays a crucial role in law-making in India. The process begins with identifying the need for a new law, this is often raised by different sections of society. It is important for Parliament to be sensitive to people's issues and problems. A bill initiated in the Parliament has to pass through both houses- the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha, to become law. Parliament has the power to modify or cancel laws if they don't adhere to the Constitution. The Parliament is also responsible for controlling, guiding, and informing the government to perform its functions properly. Many times, popular opinion against certain laws can pressure Parliament to change them. Hence, the voice of the citizens is a crucial element at every stage of law-making.

How does the Parliament of India enable citizens to participate in decision-making and control the government, and in what ways does this make it a symbol of Indian democracy?
The Parliament of India is a supreme democratic institution that enables citizens to participate in decision-making and control the government in several ways. It is made up of representatives or Members of Parliament (MPs), who are elected by the citizens. These representatives form the government and pass laws on behalf of the citizens, thus ensuring their participation in the governance. The Parliament also has immense power in controlling, guiding, and informing the government through mechanisms like question hour and debates. Furthermore, in matters dealing with finances, Parliament's approval is crucial for the government. All these factors make the Parliament a symbol of Indian democracy.
What role did the freedom struggle play in shaping the perception of participation and decision-making in independent India and how did it translate into the principle of universal adult franchise in the Constitution?
