What is the importance of equality before law in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It prevents arbitrary power

Correct answer: C, it prevents arbitrary power. Equality before law means that every person, including public officials and powerful people, is subject to the same legal system. The government must give reasons based on law and cannot punish, favour, or exclude people simply according to personal will. This principle is part of the rule of law: law, rather than an individual ruler’s wish, guides public action. Option A is wrong because citizens are not above the law; they are protected by and subject to lawful rules. Option B is wrong because equality before law protects everyone, not only officials. Option C is correct because it checks arbitrary use of state power and supports accountable government. Option D is wrong because equality before law does not end elections; it helps democracy function fairly. Memory cue: rule of law means no person is above the law and no authority is above legal limits.
