If officials deliberately delay justice so much that a right becomes useless, which value is weak?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Timely justice and effective remedy
The correct answer is timely justice and effective remedy. A right is real and useful only if a person can obtain relief from a court or competent authority within a reasonable time after its violation. Deliberate delay may turn a right into merely a paper guarantee. Free and fair elections are important in a democracy, but they do not directly address delayed legal relief. Exam tip: connect “delay in justice” with effective enforcement of rights and remedies.
