How does the written form of a constitution help reduce conflicts?

Correct answer: Because clear rules can be referred to during disputes

Correct answer: A. A written constitution records the basic rules, powers, procedures, and rights in a form that can be consulted. When two institutions or groups disagree, they do not have to depend only on personal opinions or changing verbal promises. They can examine the constitutional text and ask which rule applies. This does not remove every conflict, but it gives disputes a common and authoritative reference. Courts and other institutions can use that reference while interpreting the law. A is correct because clear, publicly available rules help settle disagreements in an orderly way. B is incorrect because written rules are meant to be available, not hidden. C is incorrect because the purpose of written rules is to reduce uncertainty, even though interpretation may sometimes be needed. D is incorrect because institutions can read and apply written rules. Memory cue: written constitution means a common rulebook for resolving disputes.
