How does delay in courts affect democratic justice?

Correct answer: It creates obstacles to getting justice

Correct answer: A. Justice is meaningful only when people can obtain it within a reasonable time and through a fair process. Court delay can keep an injured person waiting, increase expense and stress, weaken evidence, and reduce confidence in legal institutions. Delay does not automatically decide who is right, but it can make access to justice difficult, especially for people with limited resources. A is correct because it identifies the direct democratic problem: a legal remedy that comes too late may not effectively protect a person’s rights. B is wrong because waiting longer does not enlarge Fundamental Rights. C is wrong because delay by itself cannot make a case fair; fairness depends on impartial procedure and proper consideration of evidence and law. D is wrong because pending court cases do not automatically postpone elections. Memory cue: delayed justice can become weakened justice, although delay and an unfair judgment are not exactly the same thing.
