How does the ability to seek protection of rights in court strengthen democracy?

Correct answer: It checks arbitrary action by government

Direct answer: A, because court protection checks arbitrary government action. Constitutional or legal rights are useful only when an independent legal process can examine alleged violations and provide an appropriate remedy. If a public authority acts without lawful justification, an affected person may use the available judicial process. The possibility of review discourages officials from treating power as unlimited and reminds them that government must act according to law. A is correct because judicial protection places a check on arbitrariness and supports the rule of law. B is wrong: courts protect citizens within the constitutional framework; they do not remove citizens from it. C is wrong: seeking a remedy in court does not abolish the Election Commission. D is wrong: courts may interpret or review laws, but society still needs laws made through proper institutions. The court is not a substitute for democracy; it is one safeguard that helps democratic government respect rights. Memory cue: constitutional remedy means “a lawful way to seek relief when a right is violated.”
