How do rights make state power legitimate in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They require the state to respect citizens' freedoms

Direct answer: A is correct. State power is legitimate in a democracy when it is exercised according to law, serves public purposes and respects the rights and dignity of citizens. Rights place constitutional and legal limits on government action, so officials cannot treat personal freedom as something they may remove without reason. They also give citizens ways to question decisions and seek remedies when power is misused. B is wrong because rights restrict arbitrary government action rather than permit it. C is wrong because rights strengthen citizens' legal protection. D is wrong because the existence of rights makes fair justice more necessary, not unnecessary. Legitimacy therefore means justified and limited authority, not simply the power to command. Memory cue: democratic power is legitimate when it is powerful enough to govern but limited enough to respect rights.
