How can a constitution advance the goal of social justice?

Correct answer: By giving principles of equal opportunity and protection

Direct answer: C, by giving principles of equal opportunity and protection. Social justice means creating conditions in which people are treated with dignity and unfair disadvantages are challenged. A constitution can prohibit discrimination, guarantee equality before law, and provide protections or supportive measures for groups that have faced historical exclusion. These principles guide governments and institutions toward fairer treatment; they do not promise that every social problem disappears immediately. A is wrong because permanent inequality opposes social justice. B is wrong because excluding groups from rights increases injustice. D is too narrow: taxation may be part of governance, but tax rules alone do not establish social equality or protect dignity. Memory cue: social justice in a constitution means equal status plus protection against unfair exclusion.
