What danger arises if protection of Fundamental Rights is left only to government's will?

Correct answer: Rights may lose stable and independent protection

Answer: A. Fundamental Rights are meant to protect people even when a government or majority wishes to limit them. If protection depends only on the government’s goodwill, the government could change its policy, ignore a minority, or restrict criticism whenever it finds it convenient. Rights would then become permissions or favours rather than dependable constitutional guarantees. A is correct because it identifies the danger of losing stable and independent protection. B is incorrect: government discretion can make protection uncertain, not automatically stronger. C does not follow; leaving rights to the government may actually weaken the judiciary’s checking role. D is also false because discrimination does not disappear merely because the government claims to protect rights. The Constitution, courts, and legal remedies make rights enforceable against misuse of power. Memory cue: a right is stronger than a favour; it must not depend on the ruler’s mood.
