• What Is Law? The Basics – Law is a set of general, binding rules made or recognised by the state and enforced by courts. It overlaps with morality but is not the same. Its sources are the constitution, treaties, statutes, regulations, case law and custom, arranged in a hierarchy. Natural persons and legal persons (like companies) hold rights and duties. Everyday law includes contracts, consumer protection and access to courts.
• Elections in India – Elections let crores of people choose representatives and peacefully change governments. India uses first-past-the-post for Lok Sabha and state assemblies, and a form of proportional representation for Rajya Sabha and the President. Delimitation makes constituencies roughly equal in population. The independent Election Commission prepares voter lists and conducts polls. India has a multi-party system, coalition governments are common, and the anti-defection law stops elected members from switching parties.
