If a law conflicts with the Constitution, what can a court do?

Correct answer: It can declare it unconstitutional

Correct answer: A, a court can declare the conflicting law, or the relevant part of it, unconstitutional. The Constitution is the highest legal framework, so ordinary laws must conform to it. Through judicial review, courts examine whether a law is consistent with constitutional provisions and, where relevant, Fundamental Rights. If a conflict is found, the court may invalidate the law or the offending part so that it cannot operate in that form. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because courts interpret and review laws; they do not themselves amend the Constitution or convert an ordinary law into constitutional text. Option C is wrong because a court does not automatically preserve an unconstitutional law until an election; the legal effect depends on the judgment and applicable procedure. Option D is wrong because an executive order is issued by the executive authority, not created by declaring a statute to be one. Memory cue: “Constitution above ordinary law; review checks the conflict.”
