Q.3: What would happen if there were no restrictions on the
power of elected representatives?
Solution: In
democracy people choose their leaders so that they can exercise power
responsibly on their behalf. But there is always the possibility that these
leaders might misuse their authority as per their wish which can not be allowed
in democracy. This misuse of authority can result in gross injustice and
breakdown of democratic system. Hence as a safeguard against the misuse of
power by our political leaders it is necessary to have restriction on their
