Why can Fundamental Rights be called a cornerstone of democratic governance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They give citizens liberty, equality and judicial protection

Direct answer: A. Fundamental Rights are a cornerstone because they place limits on government power and protect the basic conditions of democratic citizenship. They give people important freedoms, require equality before law and allow constitutional protection when rights are violated. Democracy is not merely rule by the numerical majority; it also requires respect for every person’s dignity and liberty. A is correct because liberty, equality and judicial protection together make government accountable and citizen-centred. B is wrong because Fundamental Rights do not give the government unlimited command; they mainly protect people from arbitrary power. C is wrong because rights enable citizens to speak, participate and disagree. D is wrong because a democratic majority must respect constitutional limits and minority rights. Memory cue: democracy means majority rule with rights, not majority rule without limits.
