Rule of law and respect for rights
कानून का शासन और अधिकारों का सम्मान
In Class 9 Civics, within the chapter “What is Democracy? Why Democracy?”, students examine how democracy depends on the rule of law and respect for citizens’ rights. The topic explains that laws should apply equally to all, including those in power, and that democratic government must protect fundamental freedoms, dignity, and equal treatment rather than act arbitrarily.

View question detailsWhat is the main function of citizens' rights in democracy?
Correct answer: C
In a democracy, citizens' rights protect citizens' freedom, equality, and dignity. They also place constitutional limits on arbitrary government power, so option C is correct. Regular elections are essential for democracy, but organising them is not the main function of citizens' rights. Exam tip: remember rights as safeguards for citizens' freedom and dignity.
View question detailsThe idea that government is not above law is related to what?
Correct answer: A
Rule of law keeps government also under law. Exam tip: remember legal limits on government.
View question detailsIf a powerful person commits a crime and still escapes which principle weakens?
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is equal application of law. Rule of law means that the law applies equally to powerful and ordinary people. If a powerful person escapes punishment after committing a crime, the principle of equality before the law is weakened. Secrecy of voting protects a voter’s free choice, so it is not the relevant principle here. Exam tip: in questions about law and crime, check whether all persons are equally accountable.
View question detailsWhat may increase among citizens if rights are not respected?
Correct answer: D
When citizens' rights are not respected, they may fear arbitrary action, discrimination, or injustice. Therefore, fear and insecurity may increase among them. In contrast, trust, freedom, and dignity are strengthened when rights are protected. Exam tip: connect respect for rights in a democracy with citizens' security and dignity.
View question detailsWhat type of governance does rule of law promote?
Correct answer: A
Rule of law means that everyone, including citizens and government institutions, acts according to established laws and is equally subject to them. Therefore, it promotes governance based on laws and rules. Arbitrary governance based on a ruler’s personal will is the opposite because decisions are made by personal choice rather than law. Exam tip: remember rule of law as “the law applies equally to all.”

View question detailsIf law applies only to opponents it is against what?
Correct answer: A
Impartial application of law means that the law applies equally to everyone, including supporters and opponents of the government.

Exam tip: When a question says that the law must be the same for all, look for rule of law or impartial application of law.
