Which example shows Fundamental Rights giving a real voice to a weaker group in democracy?

An affected group uses court and peaceful assembly against discrimination

Direct answer: A is correct. Fundamental Rights empower weaker groups by giving them lawful ways to express their concerns, organise peacefully, challenge discrimination, and seek protection from courts. This changes a group from a powerless victim into a participant that can demand equal treatment and accountability. Option A shows both peaceful assembly and access to legal remedy, so it demonstrates voice within constitutional democracy. Option B is wrong because violence harms others and is not a protected method of democratic participation. Option C is wrong because the rule of law requires officials to remain subject to law, not above it. Option D shows surrendering protection, not using rights for empowerment. The group in option A must still respect lawful limits and others’ rights, but it does not have to remain silent. Memory cue: rights give weaker people a microphone and a legal door—peaceful participation and court protection.
