What was one major benefit of discussion in the Constituent Assembly?

Better decisions could be made after hearing different opinions

The correct answer is A: discussion allowed the Assembly to hear different opinions and make more thoughtful decisions. Representatives could explain concerns, question proposals, suggest changes and compare possible solutions. This process helped identify weaknesses and build provisions that were more suitable for a diverse country. Option A is correct because open deliberation improves the quality and legitimacy of collective decisions. B is wrong because discussion requires listening rather than suppressing every opinion. C is wrong because the purpose of the Assembly was precisely to think carefully about the Constitution. D is wrong because constitutional decisions were not simply imposed through secret orders. Discussion does not guarantee that every person gets exactly what they want, but it makes the final framework more considered. Memory cue: “Listen widely, decide wisely.”
