“AN ANALYSIS ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN LAW MAKING WITH POLICITS AND OVERPOPULATION”

Abstract

This paper addresses the implications of population explosion on law-making and politics. When considering the impact of population explosion, issues such as per capita income, pressure on food, and living space immediately come to mind. Historically, countries with lower population pressure were deemed more stable due to favorable demographic conditions. Political leaders face political pressure and challenges in formulating policies to accommodate population growth and encounter pressure during election campaigns, where they must connect with various groups to secure victory. Post-election, leaders contend with consequences like changes in law for assembly seat reservations. As per Article 170, the number of assembly seats should range from 60 to 500. However, in the face of a population explosion, adjustments must be made through the delimitation act after conducting a proper census. Furthermore, currency value, caste reservations, migration for job opportunities, and the restructuring of a country's population are also affected. These are just a few outline impacts of the population explosion under consideration. The study employed qualitative methods, including interviews and questionnaires, to analyze these effects. The findings aimed to validate the suspicions raised in this study.
