What should be the limited purpose of the court's contempt power?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Protecting administration of justice and lawful court orders

Answer: A. Contempt power should be used for the limited purpose of protecting the administration of justice and ensuring that lawful court orders are not deliberately obstructed or disobeyed. It is not a general tool for protecting a judge from every disagreement. Courts must also respect lawful criticism and freedom of expression, while responding to conduct that seriously interferes with justice. A is correct because it identifies the institutional purpose. B is wrong: fair criticism is not automatically contempt. C is wrong because the court is not a government public-relations body. D is wrong because regulating election slogans is not the ordinary purpose of contempt power. Memory cue: contempt protects the justice process, not personal pride.
