Which example shows responsible and valid use of the Right to Freedom?

Submitting a peaceful memorandum against a policy

Correct answer: C, submitting a peaceful memorandum against a policy. The Right to Freedom allows citizens to express views and take part in peaceful public action, subject to lawful and reasonable limits. A memorandum is a written request or statement that communicates disagreement without using force. Option A is wrong because spreading rumours to provoke violence can endanger public order. Option B is wrong because a threat attacks the security and dignity of a community. Option D is wrong because forcing a person to work concerns exploitation and violates that person’s freedom; it is not a valid exercise of one’s own right. The key test is conduct: a democratic right must be used peacefully and responsibly. Memory cue: peaceful protest is protected; violence, threats, and coercion are not.
