What is the significance of freedom of expression in a democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It allows citizens to express views on policy and government

Direct answer: B, freedom of expression allows citizens to express views on government and public policy. A democracy needs discussion before decisions and scrutiny after decisions. Through speech, writing, debate, peaceful criticism, and public discussion, citizens can share information, identify problems, suggest alternatives, and hold authorities accountable. A is wrong because the freedom includes criticism, not only praise. C is wrong because voting age is a separate legal and constitutional matter; expression does not change it. D is wrong because expressing an opinion does not determine the institutional role of courts. This freedom is not a licence to harm others unlawfully, but reasonable limits do not erase its democratic value. Memory cue: expression gives citizens a voice, and a voice supports accountability.
