Why are rights given constitutional protection even above public opinion in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: So a temporary majority cannot take away basic freedoms

Correct answer: A. Constitutional protection gives basic rights a stable and higher legal status. In a democracy, the majority makes many decisions, but a temporary majority should not be allowed to remove the basic freedoms and dignity of individuals or minorities. The Constitution places limits on government and majority power so that public opinion cannot justify every kind of unfair treatment. B is wrong because constitutional democracy still gives people an important role through elections, debate, and participation. C is wrong because constitutional protection aims at stability, not daily changes. D is wrong because a right is a legal entitlement, not a favour or charity given by the government. Memory cue: democracy is majority rule with constitutional limits; the majority cannot vote away basic rights.
