Why are fundamental rights given a stronger place than government policy in a Constitution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because rights protect citizens' basic liberties

Direct answer: B is correct. Government policy is a programme or decision of the government and may change when priorities or governments change. Fundamental rights have a stronger constitutional position because they protect basic freedoms and equal treatment even against unjust government action. They set a standard that ordinary policies and laws should respect. This prevents a temporary majority or administration from treating citizens arbitrarily. B is correct because rights protect liberty, dignity and equality as basic conditions of citizenship. A is wrong because policies cannot automatically override constitutional rights. C is wrong because rights apply continuously, not only during elections. D is wrong because the government cannot remove or violate rights simply whenever it wishes; constitutional procedures and judicial protection matter. Memory cue: policies may change, but rights set the protected constitutional floor.
