How does independence of courts strengthen democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: By checking government power

Direct answer: A, by checking government power. The judiciary is the branch that interprets laws and decides disputes. Judicial independence means that judges can decide cases according to the Constitution, laws and evidence, without improper pressure from the government or powerful people. If the government takes an unlawful action, a court can examine it and provide a remedy. This creates checks and balances: no institution is above the law, and citizens’ rights receive protection. Option A is correct because controlling unlawful or excessive government power is a democratic safeguard. Option B is wrong because elections are necessary for democracy and courts do not abolish them. Option C is wrong because Parliament is a constitutional institution; judicial review does not mean removing it. Option D is wrong because hiding taxes is unlawful and has nothing to do with judicial independence. Memory cue: an independent judiciary is a referee that applies the rules fairly, not a team that supports the government.
