Answer:
If
there is any legal change, it must carefully look at what results it will have
on politics. Sometimes, the results may be counter-productive. For example,
many states have banned people who have more than two children from contesting
Panchayat elections. This had resulted in denial of political opportunity to
many poor and women which was not intended.
Generally, laws that seek to ban something are not successful in politics,
instead laws that give political actors incentives to do good things are more
successful. "
The best laws are those which empower people to carry out
democratic reforms.
The Right to Information Act is a good example of law that
empowers people to find out what is happening in the government and acts as a watchdog
of the democracy. Such law helps to control corruption and supplements the
existing laws that banned corruption and imposed strict penalties.
