View question detailsThe purpose of rights in democracy is to ensure what kind of treatment of citizens?
Correct answer: D
A central purpose of democratic rights is to ensure that every citizen receives fair, equal, and dignified treatment. Rights prevent the majority, officials, or powerful groups from treating weaker people arbitrarily. For example, equality before law opposes unjust discrimination, and freedoms allow citizens to participate and express themselves without improper interference. Therefore option D is correct because fair treatment means that decisions affecting citizens follow known laws and respect their basic rights. Option A is the opposite of the objective of rights. Option B describes discrimination, which rights seek to prevent, while option C is not a constitutional standard for treating citizens. Fairness does not always mean identical treatment; lawful protective measures may be used to address genuine disadvantage while preserving equality and dignity.
