Why is democratic caution necessary in the ordinance system?

Correct answer: Because it can temporarily bypass Parliament's regular law-making process

The correct answer is A. An ordinance is a temporary law-making measure issued by the executive head when the legislature is not in session and immediate action is considered necessary. Because it can operate without the usual prior debate and voting in Parliament, it must be used carefully and only within constitutional conditions. It is not a permanent substitute for the ordinary legislative process; the legislature must get an opportunity to consider it, and constitutional rules determine its continuation. Option B is wrong because courts do not ordinarily issue ordinances. Option C is wrong because ordinances remain subject to the Constitution and legal review. Option D is unrelated: an ordinance does not automatically cancel elections. Memory cue: an ordinance may respond to urgency, but legislative accountability must return.
