What is the correct balance between judicial independence and accountability?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Judges should be independent but accountable to the Constitution and legal procedure

The correct answer is A: judges should be independent but accountable to the Constitution and legal procedure. Judicial independence means that judges must be able to decide cases without pressure from the government, political parties, media, or powerful individuals. However, independence does not mean that a judge may do anything according to personal wishes. Every judgment must follow the Constitution, laws, evidence, reasoning, and fair procedure. Option A is correct because it combines freedom from improper pressure with legal accountability. B is wrong because judges are also bound by the Constitution and laws. C is wrong because prior government approval would destroy impartial judging and separation of powers. D is wrong because courts decide cases through law and evidence, not popularity. Memory cue: independent in decision, accountable to the Constitution.
