Why is the judiciary important for citizens?

Correct answer: To protect rights and deliver justice

Correct answer: A — the judiciary is important because courts protect rights, settle disputes and provide justice according to law. When a person faces injustice or believes that a legal or constitutional right has been violated, the person can seek a remedy through the courts. Judges hear both sides, examine evidence and apply the relevant law independently. Option B is wrong because preparing and presenting the government budget is mainly connected with the executive and legislature, not the judiciary. Option C is wrong because elections are organised by election authorities, not courts as their ordinary function. Option D is wrong because making laws is mainly the work of the legislature, such as Parliament or a state legislature. Courts interpret and apply laws rather than normally making them. Memory cue: legislature makes laws, executive implements them, and judiciary interprets them and delivers justice.
