The Right to Freedom protects citizens from what kind of state action?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Arbitrary and unreasonable restrictions
The Right to Freedom prevents the State from imposing arbitrary, discriminatory, or unreasonable restrictions on citizens’ liberty. Hence, option B is correct. The Constitution permits reasonable restrictions imposed by law for grounds such as public order, security, or morality, so a valid restriction in the public interest is not automatically a violation of this right. Exam tip: distinguish an arbitrary restriction from a reasonable restriction authorised by law.
