According to what does the judiciary work?

Correct answer: The Constitution and law

Correct answer: A, the Constitution and law. The judiciary must decide cases using the legal framework that governs the country. The Constitution provides the highest principles and limits, while valid laws, legal procedures and evidence guide the resolution of particular disputes. Judges may interpret unclear provisions, but interpretation is not the same as deciding according to personal preference. Option A is correct because it identifies the proper legal basis of judicial work. Option B is wrong because an independent judiciary must not simply follow the political wishes of the government. Option C is wrong because rumours are unverified claims and cannot replace legally examined evidence and arguments. Option D is wrong because personal interests would create bias and violate impartiality. This connection also explains why judicial independence and the rule of law are important: judges are protected from improper pressure, yet they remain bound by the Constitution and law. Memory cue: “Judges follow law, not rumours or personal wishes.”
