Which example shows that government is bound by law?

Correct answer: Government follows court order

Being bound by law means that the government must obey the same legal and constitutional framework that it is expected to enforce. Courts are institutions authorised to interpret law and issue binding orders. When the government follows a court order, it accepts that public power is not unlimited and that its actions can be reviewed. This is an important sign of constitutional government and accountability.

Option A gives the required example. The remaining choices show the opposite: arbitrary orders ignore legal standards, silencing critics threatens rights, and ignoring law directly rejects the rule of law. Following a court order does not mean that every government decision is automatically perfect; it shows that the government recognises lawful supervision and must correct or justify its conduct through legal channels. Hence option A is correct.
