Adult Franchise means all adult citizens of the country should have the right to vote without any discrimination of class, caste, class, religion, or gender. It is based on the basic principle of democracy, which we call equality. It stresses that the right to vote should be equally available to all. It is the bedrock of a democratic system. It enables all citizens to be involved in the governance of their state.
Franchise literally means the right of the people to vote and elect their representatives. The word franchise is derived from the French word ‘franc’ which means ‘free’. In history, it took much time in making itself a universal law. In fact, this was one of the major demands in the long-drawn struggle for democracy. Till date, not all the countries of the world are practising this law. India had implemented this principle on January 26, 1950. Now the minimum age for exercising franchise is 18 years in our country. One must qualify certain grounds for the adult franchise in India. These are:-
• One must be a citizen of India,
• One must have attained 18 years of age,
• One must not be of unsound mind,
• One must not have been declared bankrupt by a competent court

Though required to act on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers, in certain matters the President may exercise discretion within reasonable limits. The following are the discretionary powers of the President of India:
- The President can withhold assent to a Non-Money Bill or send it back for reconsideration.
- There is no time limit within which the President is required to declare his assent or refusal or return the Bill for reconsideration. He can take as much time as he thinks appropriate.
- If no political party or leader has majority support in the Lok Sabha, the President has the freedom to decide who should be appointed as Prime Minister.
- In case the Prime Minister has lost the support of the Lok Sabha, he may, instead of tendering his resignation, ask for the dissolution of the House. The President is bound to act on the advice of the Prime Minister. He can also explore the possibility of forming an alternative government at the centre.

Negative conception of liberty:
- It implies the absence of restraints and rights to do whatever one likes.
- This conception may make the powerful person more powerful to keep the weaker ones on their mercy.
- This conception of liberty faces the following drawbacks:
(a) Liberty is concerned with the area control, not with its source, hence, this is not necessary to have democracy to enjoy freedom.
(b) The state should control the liberty of an individual only up to the limit where he interferes in other’s such liberty. Positive conception of liberty:
- It refers to the society in which adequate facilities are available for each and every section of society to enjoy desirable rights.
- This believes that any individual or section should not hinder the progress of others.
- People can enjoy all freedoms which are permissible by laws.
- It ensures the growth of poor, weak and downtrodden people also.
- It interprets that liberty lies in the removal of hindrances.

The Sapru Committee in 1945 suggested two categories of individual rights. One being justiciable and the other being non-justiciable rights. The justiciable rights, as we know, are the Fundamental rights, whereas the non-justiciable ones are the Directive Principles of State Policy.
DPSP are ideals which are meant to be kept in mind by the state when it formulates policies and enacts laws. There are various definitions to Directive Principles of State which are given below:
- They are an ‘instrument of instructions’ which are enumerated in the Government of India Act, 1935.
- They seek to establish economic and social democracy in the country.
- DPSPs are ideals which are not legally enforceable by the courts for their violation.
Definition: They are the principles that aim at providing social and economic justice and set the path towards the welfare state. Under various articles, they direct the state to: | |
Article 38 | Promote the welfare of the people by securing a social order through justice—social, economic and political—and to minimise inequalities in income, status, facilities and opportunities |
Article 39 | Secure citizens:
|
Article 39A | Promote equal justice and free legal aid to the poor |
Article 41 | In cases of unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement, secure citizens:
|
Article 42 | Make provision for just and humane conditions of work and maternity relief |
Article 43 | Secure a living wage, a decent standard of living and social and cultural opportunities for all workers |
Article 43A | Take steps to secure the participation of workers in the management of industries |

The literal meaning of ‘Prohibition’ is ‘To forbid.’ A court that is higher in position issues a Prohibition writ against a court that is lower in position to prevent the latter from exceeding its jurisdiction or usurping a jurisdiction that it does not possess. It directs inactivity.
Facts about Prohibition in India:
- Writ of Prohibition can only be issued against judicial and quasi-judicial authorities.
- It can’t be issued against administrative authorities, legislative bodies and private individuals or bodies

Politically, our Constitution has been reasonably effective. The government of our country is carried out under the provisions of the Constitution with a democratically elected government that is responsible to Parliament. The judiciary has also been effective in preserving the basic character of the constitution by refusing the legislature or the executive to exceed its authority. However, our political system is still marred by evils of criminalization and corruption which goes against the spirit of the Constitution.

The definition of an action is something that is done or performed. Performing a skit and baking a cake are each an example of an action. "Action is the mode [that] fiction writers use to show what is happening at any given moment in the story," states Evan Marshall, who identifies five fiction-writing modes: action, summary, dialogue, feelings/thoughts, and background. ... Writing a story means weaving all of the elements of fiction together.

In the History of Ideas, there are two major concepts of justice :
- Numerical Concept of Justice: It gives an equal share to all. Bentham said, “Everyone is to count for one, nobody for more than one”. It means even unequal would be treated as equal. Modern liberal democracies are also based on this principle. Rich or poor, illiterate or literate, employed or unemployed all have the right of a single vote.
- Geometric Concept of Justice: Plato and Aristotle favored this concept of justice. It is a concept of proportionate equality. It means an equal share to equals and unequal to unequal. According to Aristotle flutes should be distributed only among those who have the capacity for flute playing. Numerical justice is sometimes called democratic justice and geometric justice is equated with aristocratic justice.

Proportionate justice:
-
This principle indicates rewarding people in proportion to the scale and quality of their effort.
-
It is just to reward different jobs differently on the basis of efforts and skills required and the danger involved.
-
Thus, proportionality provides balance to the principle of equal treatment.
-
The reward and compensation for a surgeon and an architect varies according to the skill that is required in their job.
