What is the deepest difference between Fundamental Rights and ordinary legal rights?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Fundamental Rights get higher constitutional protection and judicial enforcement
Correct answer: B. Fundamental Rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and receive special protection. If a Fundamental Right is violated, a person can seek constitutional remedies before the appropriate court. Ordinary legal rights are also enforceable when created by laws, contracts or other legal rules, but their source and protection are different; an ordinary law can generally be changed or repealed by the legislature, subject to constitutional limits. Option A is false because ordinary rights can be enforced. Option C is false because Fundamental Rights regulate public power and protect individuals, not merely private matters. Option D ignores the constitutional status of Fundamental Rights. Memory cue: every Fundamental Right is a legal right, but every legal right is not Fundamental.
