How do rights help make the government accountable in a democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They give citizens a basis to question and oppose

Direct answer: C. Rights give citizens a lawful basis to question government decisions, express disagreement, seek information where applicable, organise peacefully, and challenge violations. This makes officials answerable rather than all-powerful. Accountability does not mean that every government decision must be accepted by everyone; it means decisions must follow law, constitutional principles, and public responsibility. A is wrong because rights do not reduce citizens to silent followers. B is wrong because rights protect criticism and make public scrutiny possible, rather than freeing the government from criticism. D is wrong because rights depend on and strengthen the rule of law; they do not abolish law. The word ‘oppose’ here means peaceful and lawful disagreement, not violence. Memory cue: citizens can question power because rights create a constitutional check on power.
