Civics

One person, one vote, one value

एक व्यक्ति, एक वोट, एक मूल्य

In this Class 9 Civics topic from “What is Democracy? Why Democracy?”, students explore the democratic principle that every citizen’s vote should carry equal value. They learn how universal adult franchise supports political equality, gives citizens a role in choosing representatives, and connects voting with participation and accountability. The topic also helps students understand why equal voting rights are essential for representative government and how democracy seeks to include people from different social and economic backgrounds.
