Judiciary being independent from the executive reduces which risk?

Correct answer: Risk of biased justice under government pressure

Correct answer: A. Judicial independence means that judges can decide cases according to the Constitution, law, and evidence rather than obeying the executive or fearing political pressure. This is important when a citizen challenges an action of the government, because the court must be able to examine the matter impartially. Independence reduces the danger of biased justice under government pressure; it does not mean that judges are above the Constitution or law. B is wrong because voter turnout is an election matter and is not a danger caused by judicial independence. C is wrong because debate in Parliament is a normal democratic activity, not a risk that independence tries to remove. D is wrong because making laws is mainly the legislature’s function, and independent courts do not prevent all laws from being made. Memory cue: independent judge, impartial decision.
