In which situation can an unpopular court decision still be considered constitutional?

Correct answer: When it protects Fundamental Rights and constitutional limits

Answer: A. A constitutional decision is judged by the Constitution, lawful reasoning, rights, and institutional limits—not simply by whether it is popular. Courts sometimes have to protect a minority or an individual against pressure from a majority. If a decision safeguards Fundamental Rights and prevents a government body from exceeding constitutional authority, it may be correct even when some people dislike it. A is right because constitutional limits are higher than temporary public pressure. B is wrong because a decision must be reasoned and based on law. C is wrong because helping a political party is not a constitutional test. D is wrong because courts must examine relevant law and constitutional provisions. Memory cue: constitutional does not mean universally popular; it means consistent with the Constitution.
