What benefit do citizens get when the process of governance is written in the constitution?

Correct answer: They can know how and within what limits decisions will be made

Direct answer: A is correct. A written constitutional process tells citizens which institution may take a decision, what procedure it must follow and what limits apply to its power. This knowledge makes government more predictable and gives citizens a standard against which official action can be judged. If an authority acts outside the prescribed process, citizens, representatives or courts may question it through lawful means. A is correct because it connects procedure with limits, awareness and accountability. B is wrong because citizens remain members of the political community and can participate, vote and claim rights. C is wrong because constitutional rules generally protect rights rather than remove them. D is wrong because citizens are not merely command-followers; they have legal protections and democratic roles. Memory cue: written procedure means “know the process, check the power.”
