Why was the demand for a constitution linked with civil liberty in the liberal movement of 1848?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A constitution could limit the ruler's power and protect rights
The governing concept is constitutional liberalism. A constitution establishes the structure of government, defines the powers of rulers, and places those powers under law. By guaranteeing rights such as freedom of expression, equality before law, and representation, it can protect civil liberty from arbitrary authority. Option A is correct because it links limited government with protected rights. Options B, C, and D either reverse or deny this relationship.
