AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Dynastic succession means that top positions in a political party are controlled by members of the same family, passed from one generation to the next.
It is considered unfair because it gives an unfair advantage to leaders' relatives over ordinary party workers. People without adequate experience or popular support come to occupy positions of power, which is also harmful to democracy.

This is a 2-mark question, so one sentence defining dynastic succession and one–two sentences explaining why it is unfair is sufficient. Use the textbook's own language — "unfair advantage," "inadequate experience," "popular support" — as examiners look for these specific terms. Do not write about other challenges like money power or lack of internal democracy, as the question is specifically about dynastic succession only.
