Answer 1

1. Equality: It upholds the democratic principle that all adult citizens, regardless of caste, creed, gender, education, or wealth, are equal and should have an equal say in the governance of the country.
2. Representation: It ensures that the government truly reflects the will of the people by allowing every adult to participate in the electoral process, thereby strengthening the legitimacy of democratic institutions.
