d) Some constituencies are reserved for people who are from disadvantaged backgrounds
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) One man, one vote (or one person, one vote) expresses the principle that individuals should have equal representation in voting. This slogan is used by advocates of political equality to refer to such electoral reforms as universal suffrage, proportional representation, and the elimination of plural voting, malapportionment, or gerrymandering.

(b) An election is a formal group decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century.

(c) Literacy is critical to the health of our nation and essential to the democratic process. Every citizen has the right and obligation to make informed choices. That involves understanding the issues, evaluating the candidates, analyzing their positions, and marking ballots correctly.

(d) Reserved constituencies are those constituencies in which seats are reserved for SCs and STs on the basis of their population.
