What is the importance of court decisions applying to everyone?

Correct answer: Equality before law and rule of law are upheld

Correct answer: A, equality before law and rule of law are upheld. The basic idea is that a valid court decision is not meant only for a powerful person or one particular institution. When its legal effect applies to all relevant people, citizens, officials and institutions must respect the same legal standards. This prevents special treatment and shows that no person or authority is above the law. Therefore, court decisions help protect equality and make the rule of law meaningful. Option A is correct because it states both results. Option B is wrong: changing an elected government is a political and constitutional matter, not an automatic result of a court decision applying to everyone. Option C is wrong: a judgment does not automatically end every law made by Parliament; only a law or part of it may be affected when a competent court finds a legal conflict. Option D is wrong: judges do not become required to contest elections. Memory cue: “same decision for all” points to “equality and rule of law.”
