Law
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago

Answer:

In every contested election a symbol is allotted to each contesting candidate. Different symbol are allotted to different candidates contesting at an election in the same constituency. 

There are two categories of symbols. They are:

1. Reserved symbol - It is a symbol which is reserved for a recognized National or State party. It varies from State to State.

2. Free symbol - The symbol other than a reserved symbol is known as a free symbol. It is common for all Union Territories and States.

or

The Election Commission of India, the body that runs and monitors elections in the world's largest democracy, have made several interesting design decisions, many aimed at ensuring that as many voters as possible can participate in the process. Given India's immense diversity and the fact that many voters are still illiterate, the use of symbols to represent political parties and individual candidates on a ballot paper has been a significant choice. This removes the problem of locating a person/party's name on the ballot paper via text. The names of the party and candidate are still on the paper, but are secondary in size and stature. The candidate would then put a 'stamp' next to the symbol.  

India has largely moved to Electronic Voting Machines now; this makes it even more voter-friendly, for all one has to do is to push a button next to the symbol.  

The use of such symbols has made elections more accessible to the most illiterate in India. Even with increasing literacy, this is unlikely to go away, given how integral this idea has become.

If you were a member of the Supreme Court what law would you rule as unconstitutional? What basis would you use to support your
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Explanation:

The def: not in accordance with a political constitution, especially the US Constitution, or with procedural rules. Ex." we cannot tolerate unconstitutional action" Declaring laws constitutional or un unconstitutional is done by the deciding in the Judicial Branch of government.

However, governments do not just create laws. Governments also enforce the laws set forth in the document defining the government—in the Constitution. In the United States, the failure to seat duly elected representatives of the people following a proper election, or the failure to provide for such elections would be unconstitutional even in the absence of any legislated laws whatsoever.

When the proper court determines that a legislative act (a law) conflicts with the constitution, it finds that law unconstitutional and declares it void in whole or in part. This is called judicial review. The portion of the law declared void is considered struck down, or the entire statute is considered struck from the statute books.

Depending on the type of legal system, a statute may be declared unconstitutional by any court, or only by special Constitutional courts with authority to rule on the validity of a statute. In some countries, the legislature may create any law for any purpose, and there is no provision for courts to declare a law unconstitutional. This can occur either because the country has no codified constitution that laws must conform to (e.g., the United Kingdom and New Zealand) or because the constitution is codified but no court has the authority to strike down laws on the basis of it (e.g., the Netherlands and Switzerland).
