What is the purpose of the courts' contempt power?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To maintain court dignity and obedience to its orders

Direct answer: A is correct. Courts need authority for their lawful orders to be taken seriously and for the administration of justice not to be obstructed. Contempt power can address conduct that deliberately disobeys a court order or substantially interferes with the justice process. It is connected with protecting the effectiveness and dignity of judicial proceedings. Option B is too broad and therefore wrong: the power does not mean that every criticism of a court is forbidden; fair discussion and criticism are not automatically contempt. C is wrong because courts do not run government election campaigns. D is wrong because law-making is primarily a legislative function. Memory cue: contempt protects the working of justice and obedience to lawful orders, not personal praise for judges or a blanket ban on criticism.
