Why would it be wrong to always treat public protest as an obstacle in policy decisions?

Correct answer: It can reveal policy flaws, affected groups and democratic dissent

Correct answer: A. Peaceful public protest is one way in which citizens express disagreement, draw attention to problems and ask decision-makers to explain or reconsider a policy. Protest may show that a policy has overlooked certain communities, created an unfair burden or needs better safeguards and implementation. In this sense, democratic dissent can provide feedback and improve accountability. This does not mean that every protest is automatically correct or that violence and unlawful harm should be accepted. Authorities must maintain public order while respecting lawful expression and examining genuine concerns. B is wrong because protest does not automatically abolish the Constitution. C is unrelated and false: Parliament remains a constitutional institution. D is false because protest does not change the constitutional role of the judiciary. Memory cue: “Dissent can be democratic feedback, not merely delay.”
