If a court gives an unpopular but constitutional decision, why should it be accepted in democracy?

Correct answer: Because court's duty is to decide by Constitution and law, not popularity

The correct answer is A. A court is not an opinion poll or an election campaign. Its duty is to apply the Constitution, valid laws, and legal principles to the facts of a case. A decision may be unpopular because it protects a minority, limits an unlawful government action, or applies a rule that some people dislike. If the decision is made through proper judicial procedure and is constitutional, democratic government requires respect for the rule of law. A is correct because legality is different from popularity. B is wrong because courts are public constitutional institutions and are not above the people or the Constitution. C is wrong because popular opinion is not always wrong; it is simply not the legal test for a judgment. D is wrong because Parliament has an important law-making role, subject to the Constitution. Memory cue: democracy needs majority choice and constitutional limits.
