Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Every individual has the right to vote for or be elected as a representative under our Constitution. As a result, they devised a specific system of reserved seats for the weaker sections, namely the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) (STs). This system of reserved constituencies (79 seats in Lok Sabha for Scheduled Castes and 41 seats for Scheduled Tribes) transforms our democracy into a truly representative democracy. For ages, such classes in our society have faced prejudice.

The ideals emphasized by our Constitution authors in developing this policy are their desire to include everyone.
