Answer 2

Early legislatures under the British government did not allow for all adults to vote nor could people participate in decision making.

The nationalists were thought that all persons in independent India would be able to participate in making decisions.

So the Constitution of independent Indiathat laid down the principle of universal adult franchise, i.e. that all adult citizens of the country have the right to vote.
