In which situation will Fundamental Rights protect minorities from majority arbitrariness?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Majority places an unfair ban on minority-language schools

Direct answer: A, an unfair ban on minority-language schools may violate Cultural and Educational Rights. Democracy is not simply majority rule; the majority must also respect constitutional protections for minorities. Minority communities have the right to conserve their language and culture and, subject to constitutional regulation, establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. A describes arbitrary majority pressure against an important minority institution, so Fundamental Rights become relevant. B is only the ordinary act of voting and does not by itself show a rights violation. C is a civic financial duty, not an example of minority discrimination. D is a public-development activity and contains no stated arbitrary restriction. The word ‘unfair’ is the clue: a majority decision cannot override constitutional equality and minority protection. Memory cue: majority rule operates within the Constitution, not above it.
