How does a Constitution strengthen the legitimacy of governance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Through people's consent and a rule-based process

Correct answer: A. Governance is legitimate when people can reasonably recognise it as authorised and lawful, rather than as mere force or personal rule. A Constitution supports legitimacy by expressing basic agreed principles, establishing how public officials obtain and use power, and requiring government to follow known rules. Elections, representative institutions, rights, and lawful procedures can connect government authority with citizens’ consent and public accountability. A does not mean every citizen agrees with every decision; it means authority is organised through an accepted constitutional framework. B is wrong because arbitrary action weakens legitimacy. C is wrong because silence alone does not show consent. D is wrong because removing rights undermines lawful and democratic authority. Memory cue: legitimate power is not simply power possessed; it is power gained and used according to accepted rules.
