Answer 1

Answer:

Your answers are here :)

(1) Equality is about ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents. It is also the belief that no one should have poorer life chances because of the way they were born, where they come from, what they believe, or whether they have a disability.

(2) Causes of Inequalities:

There are several causes which give rise to inequality of incomes in an economy:

(i) Inheritance

(ii) System of Private Property

(iii) Differences in Natural Qualities

(iv) Differences in Acquired Talent

(v) Family Influence

(vi) Luck and Opportunity

(3) Article 15; prohibits discrimination by the state against any citizen on grounds 'only' of caste, religion, sex, race, and place of birth.

(4) Universal Adult Franchise means that the right to vote should be given to all adult citizens without the discrimination of caste, class, colour, religion or gender. It is based on equality, which is a basic principle of democracy...In a democracy every citizen is equal. A democracy is of the people, for the people and by the people. This could work only if every citizen is free and able to choose the government they want. this could be achieved only if every citizen has a right to vote, which is guaranteed by universal adult franchise.

I hope this will be help you.
