If a law is made but applied only to weak people what weakness appears in democracy?

Correct answer: Lack of equal application of law

A law is democratic only when it is applied fairly to every person. If officials enforce it only against weak people while powerful people escape its reach, the written rule may look equal, but its actual use is discriminatory. This creates two standards: one strict standard for the powerless and another lenient standard for the influential. Such a system weakens equality before law and makes justice depend on social or political power.

Option A is correct because it directly names the missing principle: equal application of law. “Excess of rights” is not the problem; the weak are usually losing protection, not receiving too many rights. Judicial independence and electoral choice are valuable democratic ideas, but neither specifically describes a law being enforced only against weaker citizens.
