Why are rights considered a shield of citizen protection in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They protect citizens from arbitrary treatment and injustice

Correct answer: A. Rights act as a shield because they set standards that public authorities and society must respect. They protect citizens from arbitrary arrest, discrimination, exploitation, denial of freedom, and other forms of unjust treatment, while giving people lawful ways to seek a remedy. A shield does not mean that a citizen may do anything without limits; rights operate within the constitutional and legal framework and are balanced with the rights of others. B is wrong because citizens, like authorities, remain subject to law. C is wrong because rights limit misuse of government power rather than expand it without limits. D is wrong because rights make informed participation possible. Memory cue: rights protect people from arbitrary power, not from all lawful responsibility.
