Solution

  • It is said that “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". If there were no restrictions on the power of elected representatives, then the chances of power being used unfairly would be higher.
  • If powers are not restricted, democracy will not survive as unlimited power will eventually result in autocracy.
  • Uncontrolled power will lead to instability and serious conflicts in the society.
