Which sentence best captures the essence of rights in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They make power limited and accountable to citizens

Correct answer: A. Rights are guaranteed claims that protect people and place limits on the use of government power. In a democracy, elected rulers cannot treat citizens as they wish; they must respect constitutional rules, explain their actions, and remain answerable. Rights also protect participation, equality, dignity, and the freedom to express disagreement. A is correct because it combines the two central ideas: power must be limited, and citizens must be able to hold authorities accountable. B is wrong because rights do not remove every rule; reasonable laws protect others and public order. C is wrong because democracy requires protection of minorities, even when the majority is powerful. D is wrong because rights such as speech, association, and participation help citizens take part in public life. Memory cue: rights mean protected freedom plus controlled power, not freedom without responsibility.
