Judicial protection of Fundamental Rights places the citizen in what position before the state?

Correct answer: The position of a rights-bearing citizen

Correct answer: B. Judicial protection means that a citizen can approach a competent court when the state violates a Fundamental Right. The citizen is therefore not merely a passive subject expected to obey; the citizen is a rights-bearing member of the constitutional system who can make a lawful claim against government action. Courts examine whether the authority acted within constitutional limits and may provide an appropriate remedy. Option A describes a weaker, purely obedient relationship and misses enforceable rights. Option C is wrong because rights do not place anyone outside the law; citizens and authorities remain subject to law. Option D is wrong because citizenship does not depend on government employment. The important democratic idea is limited government under constitutional law. Memory cue: a right becomes meaningful when the citizen can claim it and seek a remedy.
