Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
According to the principle of Universal Adult Franchise, all citizens over 18 years, irrespective of their class, caste, sex, gender, or language, have the right to vote. Our country lays down this principle in the Constitution. India's experiences with the colonial rule are what led to the decision by the nationalist leaders that all citizens of the country should be able to participate in decision-making. Along with this, the active participation of several different communities—religious and racial—in the freedom struggle ensured in the leaders' minds that everyone should be given the right to choose their leaders. The people's decision decides the formation and functioning of the government in the country. So, the people, through their representatives, make and control the government.
