Explain in 100 words advantage of Indian Constitution in civics
Answers
1. It gives the people the right to vote.
One of the rewards of living in a democratic state or country is the freedom to elect representatives and leaders they prefer through an electoral process. Moreover, they are given the right to decide, by way of voting, on issues in politics, economics and social. As for electing the president who makes significant and major decisions, the people also have the right to vote the right candidate for them.
2. It is open for change.
In a democracy, elected officials cannot stay in power for as long as they want because they bound by the constitution wherein they have to end their terms in office. In the United States, for example, presidential elections are held and the president can only run for two terms, with a total of eight years. Consequently, no one can be in power for a long time just like in a dictatorship. This means that after a few years, people can expect change. If a leader was not able to perform well while in office, the citizens can have the assurance that they can choose a better government official come elections. And with the presence of political parties, there will be many potential leaders to choose from.
