01 In which situation would constitutionalism be considered weak even if a country has a constitution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. When the government ignores rights and constitutional limits despite written rules
Explanation: The governing concept is the difference between possessing a constitution and practising constitutionalism. Constitutionalism requires the actual restraint of government through law, rights, institutional checks and respect for constitutional limits. If rulers disregard these written protections, the document exists but constitutional government is weak. Option A is therefore correct. B, C and D describe safeguards that normally strengthen constitutionalism rather than weaken it.
