If a court finds a law against the Constitution, which idea does its decision strengthen?

Correct answer: Supremacy of the Constitution

Correct answer: A. The Constitution is the fundamental legal framework, so ordinary laws and government actions must conform to it. The reasoning proceeds in stages: the court identifies the relevant constitutional rule, compares the challenged law with that rule, and, if the conflict is established, gives the constitutionally permitted remedy. This demonstrates that no ordinary authority is above the Constitution and that constitutional limits can be enforced. A is correct because the decision confirms constitutional supremacy, often through judicial review. B is wrong because it reverses the rule-of-law principle: government is not above law. C is wrong because constitutional review can protect rights rather than end them. D is wrong because examining and deciding the issue shows active judicial functioning. Memory cue: if an unconstitutional law cannot stand, the Constitution stands above ordinary law.
