ANSWER:

The freedom struggle was fought by people belonging to different backgrounds and they were inspired by the ideas of freedom, equality and participation in decision making.

The dreams and aspirations of people to live a free and respectful life laid down the principle of Universal Adult Franchise, i.e. the right to vote.
