If a government in democracy uses law to suppress criticism how does the purpose of law change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Law changes from an instrument of justice to an instrument of repression

In a democracy, law should ensure justice, protect citizens’ rights, and limit the arbitrary exercise of government power. When the government uses law to silence criticism, law becomes an instrument of repression rather than justice. Option C is a close distractor because suppressing criticism weakens rather than strengthens freedom of expression. Exam tip: Rule of law is democratic only when laws apply equally to everyone, including the government, and protect rights.
