Answer:
(i)
The constitution makers were worried that in an open electoral competition,
certain weaker sections may not stand a good chance to get elected to the Lok
Sabha and to the State Legislative Assemblies.
(ii) They may not have the required resources, education and contacts to contest
and win elections against others.
(iii) Those who are influential and resourceful may
prevent them from winning the elections.
(iv) If that happens, our Parliament and Assemblies will
be deprived of the voice of a significant section of the population.
This would make our democracy less representative and less
democratic.
