How does a constitution create a framework for the country's future?

Correct answer: It fixes basic ideals, institutions and rights

Direct answer: A is correct. A constitution is the basic framework for governing a country in the present and in the future. First, it states the ideals that the country should follow, such as justice, liberty, equality and democratic government. Second, it creates or describes important institutions, including the legislature, executive and judiciary, and explains their powers and limits. Third, it protects citizens through rights and gives rules for using public power. Because these rules are written in advance, rulers cannot change the whole system according to personal wishes. Option A is correct because it includes ideals, institutions and rights together. B is wrong because a constitution may help settle past conflicts, but hiding disputes is not its purpose. C is wrong because constitutional rights protect citizens. D is wrong because the constitution provides rules rather than removing them. Memory cue: constitution means “future framework”—values, institutions and rights.
