If a constitution keeps changing only according to short-term politics, what will be lacking?

Correct answer: Long-term stability and protection of basic values

Direct answer: A is correct. A constitution is meant to provide a stable framework that lasts beyond the interests of one government or one election. Short-term politics can change quickly, while constitutional principles such as equality, liberty, justice, and lawful government require continuity and protection. If basic rules are changed whenever political convenience demands it, citizens cannot rely on their rights, institutions may become uncertain, and public trust may weaken. B is wrong because frequent politically motivated changes can increase, not reduce, leaders’ arbitrariness. C is wrong because unstable constitutional rules make rights less secure. D is wrong because repeated short-term changes usually weaken constitutional trust. This does not mean a constitution can never be amended; it means basic change should follow a considered constitutional process. Memory cue: “Constitutional stability is a long-term guard against short-term politics.”
