What do reasonable restrictions on rights clarify?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Liberty is balanced with others' safety and public order
Correct answer: B. A right gives people freedom and protection, but using a right does not mean that a person may seriously harm others or disturb public order without accountability. In a democracy, some rights may have reasonable, lawful, and limited restrictions so that one person’s liberty can exist alongside the safety, dignity, and rights of others. Such restrictions must not be arbitrary; they should have a legal basis and serve a legitimate public purpose. Option A is wrong because restrictions do not make rights worthless. Option C is wrong because the government cannot remove rights whenever it wishes; constitutional and legal limits apply. Option D is wrong because justice and remedies remain essential. Memory cue: reasonable restriction means responsibility with liberty, not the end of liberty.
