How is rule of law linked with the judiciary?

Correct answer: Judiciary ensures that everyone is subject to the law

Direct answer: A is correct. Rule of law means that no person, government office or institution is above the law. The same legal standards should apply in similar situations, and public authorities must act within their legal powers. The judiciary gives this principle practical meaning by interpreting laws, settling disputes and examining whether official actions are lawful. It can protect a person even when the opposing side is powerful. A is correct because it states that everyone, including the government and judges, is subject to law. B is wrong because courts also work under the Constitution and law. C is wrong because courts hear disputes involving ordinary citizens, organisations and authorities, not only elected leaders. D is wrong because courts protect constitutional rights rather than abolish them. Memory cue: rule of law means “law above persons,” not “persons above law.”
