Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Allowing a peaceful rally on a fixed route and time
Explanation: A democratic society must protect peaceful public expression while also taking reasonable steps to maintain order. Allowing a peaceful rally on a fixed route and at a fixed time is an example of such balance. The participants can express their views and assemble, while the administration can manage traffic, safety, and the use of public space. The restriction regulates the manner of the activity rather than banning disagreement itself.
Therefore, option A is correct. Stopping every rally without a reason is excessive, giving a violent crowd complete freedom ignores public safety, and treating disagreement as a crime harms democracy. Reasonable, lawful arrangements are acceptable when they protect both the freedom to assemble and the wider public order.
09 In which case does a citizen's personal liberty get legal protection?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Reason for arrest is told and lawyer's help is available
Explanation: The direct answer is option A: the reason for arrest is told and lawyer’s help is available. Personal liberty means a person cannot be arrested or kept in custody according to someone’s unchecked wish. Constitutional safeguards require that an arrested person be informed of the grounds of arrest, allowed to consult and be defended by a legal practitioner, and produced before a magistrate within the legally required time, subject to specific constitutional exceptions. The reasoning is: information lets the person understand the accusation; legal assistance helps the person defend themselves; judicial supervision prevents unlawful detention; together these protect liberty. Option A is correct because it describes essential arrest safeguards. Option B is wrong because detention without reason is arbitrary. Option C is wrong because hiding information prevents protection and legal response. Option D is wrong because access to court is an important safeguard, not something to remove. Memory cue: lawful arrest needs reason, lawyer and judicial protection.
10 The Right to Freedom protects citizens from what kind of state action?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Arbitrary and unreasonable restrictions
Explanation: The Right to Freedom prevents the State from imposing arbitrary, discriminatory, or unreasonable restrictions on citizens’ liberty. Hence, option B is correct. The Constitution permits reasonable restrictions imposed by law for grounds such as public order, security, or morality, so a valid restriction in the public interest is not automatically a violation of this right. Exam tip: distinguish an arbitrary restriction from a reasonable restriction authorised by law.
12 Which option will not be considered a Right to Freedom?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Freedom to make violent threats
Explanation: Making violent threats is not part of the Right to Freedom because it can endanger another person's safety and liberty and may violate the law. Peaceful expression and peaceful assembly are freedoms associated with Article 19, while choosing a profession is also protected subject to reasonable legal restrictions. Exam tip: Remember that fundamental freedoms operate subject to reasonable restrictions and respect for others' rights.
14 If a person travels within the country for work which freedom is mainly shown?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Freedom of movement
Explanation: The direct answer is A: freedom of movement. Freedom of movement means that a citizen may travel from one place to another within India, subject to reasonable restrictions such as lawful public-safety measures. The question describes travel for work, so the main act is moving through the country, not settling permanently. Step by step: the person is travelling; the travel happens inside the country; the purpose is work; therefore the relevant freedom is movement. Option A is correct. Option B concerns educational institutions run by minorities, not travel. Option C concerns protection from untouchability, not journeys. Option D concerns trafficking and forced movement, not ordinary voluntary travel. A useful distinction is: “travel” suggests movement, while “start living” suggests residence and settlement.
15 In which situation will restriction on a citizen's freedom not be considered valid?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. When restriction is only to suppress political disagreement
Explanation: Direct answer: Option A is correct. A restriction is not valid merely because the government dislikes a political opinion. Democracy protects peaceful dissent because disagreement helps citizens debate policies and correct mistakes. A lawful restriction may be justified for recognised public interests such as preventing violence or protecting public safety, but it should have a legal basis, a genuine purpose, and a reasonable connection with that purpose. Step by step: political disagreement is not automatically danger; suppressing it silences democratic participation; therefore a restriction aimed only at silencing disagreement is unfair. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because a limited, lawful safety measure can be valid. Option C is wrong because a restriction made according to law may be valid, though the law and its application must still be reasonable. Option D is wrong because preventing violence protects public order and others' safety. Memory cue: dissent is not disorder; criticism alone is not violence.
