How was adding fundamental rights to constitutions a response to colonial experience?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Establishing civil liberty and limited state power against arbitrary rule

The direct answer is A: fundamental rights established civil liberty and limits on state power against arbitrary rule. Colonial experiences often included unequal treatment, restrictions and decisions made without adequate protection for ordinary people. After independence, constitutions could respond by declaring rights such as equality, freedom and protection from unlawful state action. The reasoning is: identify the danger of unchecked authority, state protected freedoms, and create legal limits that governments must respect. Option A is correct because it connects rights with citizen protection and controlled government power. Option B is the opposite: fundamental rights are intended to challenge, not legitimise, colonial repression. Option C is wrong because rights belong to citizens and do not end citizenship. Option D is wrong because adding rights does not require abolishing parliament; representative institutions and rights can work together. Rights are not unlimited permission to harm others, since lawful and reasonable restrictions may exist. Exam cue: fundamental rights answer the question, “How will citizens be protected from arbitrary power?”
