If law-enforcing officials do not record their decisions, why will later protection of rights be difficult?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because reviewing decisions, examining their reasons, and holding officials accountable will become difficult
A written record shows what decision an official made and the reasons behind it. It allows courts, senior authorities, or affected persons to examine arbitrariness, discrimination, or a violation of rights. Without a record, reviewing the decision and fixing accountability on the official become difficult. Option B is incorrect because failing to record a decision does not make the law cease to exist. Exam tip: connect written reasons, review, and accountability with the rule of law.
