How does the constitutional status of Fundamental Rights separate citizens from government favour?

Citizens can turn rights into legal claims

Correct answer: A. A Fundamental Right is not a gift that the government may grant or withdraw according to personal preference. Because it is guaranteed by the Constitution, a citizen can assert it as a legal claim against unconstitutional State action. If an authority violates such a right, the person may approach the appropriate court and seek a remedy. This constitutional status also means that government power is limited by law and must respect the rights of citizens. B is wrong because citizens do not need general government permission merely to possess their constitutional freedoms, though lawful restrictions may apply. C is the opposite of the constitutional principle. D is wrong because courts provide remedies for rights violations. Memory cue: constitutional right equals enforceable claim, not official favour.
