Which principle does the Right to Equality strengthen in public employment?

Correct answer: Equal opportunity

Correct answer: B, equal opportunity. The Right to Equality supports the principle that people should have a fair chance in matters of public employment. Selection should not be based on hereditary privilege, wealth, or unfair discrimination. The relevant idea is equality of opportunity: applicants should be considered through fair and lawful criteria rather than being rejected merely because of their identity. A is wrong because hereditary selection gives preference based on family or birth. C is wrong because wealth cannot be the proper constitutional basis for public appointment. D is wrong because it proposes exclusion based on religion, which conflicts with equality and non-discrimination. Equal opportunity does not always mean that every applicant receives the same job; it means that the process is fair and legally justified. Memory cue: “public employment plus fairness equals equal opportunity.”
