Which example shows that rights limit government power?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The government cannot punish a citizen without reason

Correct answer: A. Rights prevent government from using public power arbitrarily. A government may enforce laws, but it must act according to law, follow fair procedures, and respect protected rights. Therefore, it cannot punish a citizen without a lawful and reasonable basis. A is correct because it shows a real limit on executive or state authority while still recognizing that lawful government action is possible. B is wrong because rights do not stop the government from making all laws; law-making is an important public function, though laws must respect constitutional limits. C is wrong because citizens also have to obey valid laws; rights do not place them above the law. D is wrong because protecting rights does not require Parliament to disappear. The principle is limited government: public power exists for governance but is controlled by law and rights. Memory cue: rights do not abolish government; they prevent government from becoming arbitrary.
