If one community must pay a very high fee for cultural programme permission and others need not, what is the problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Exercise of rights being weakened by unequal conditions
Charging only one community a very high fee for permission to hold a cultural programme, while others are not charged, goes against equality and fair application of law. It makes the community’s cultural right harder to exercise in practice. The options about voting age, election symbols, and polling booths are unrelated to this restriction. Exam tip: check whether a rule places a special or heavier burden on one group and thereby limits its exercise of a right.
