AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Legal regulation is considered insufficient as a primary tool because over-regulation can be counter-productive — it forces parties to find ways to cheat the law rather than genuinely reform. More importantly, in a democracy, laws are passed by leaders who themselves belong to political parties, so political parties will not agree to pass a law that they do not like.

The examiner expects two clear reasons: (1) over-regulation leads to circumvention of law, and (2) parties control the law-making process, so they can block unwanted laws. Avoid over-writing — two crisp points with brief reasoning are enough for 2 marks. Use textbook phrasing where possible (e.g., "counter-productive," "cheat the law").
