If law is enforced through secret orders what problem will citizens face?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They will be unable to know the rules and regulate their conduct accordingly
Under the rule of law, rules must be public, clear, and accessible to citizens. If orders are secret, citizens cannot know which actions are lawful or unlawful and therefore cannot regulate their conduct accordingly. The risk of arbitrary administrative action increases rather than decreases, so option D is incorrect. Exam tip: Public and clear laws are a key feature of the rule of law.
