Why can judicial independence be called a pillar of democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it protects the rule of law and rights

Direct answer: A is correct. Democracy is not only about elections; it also requires rule of law, accountable institutions, and protection of citizens’ rights. An independent judiciary contributes by applying the same law to citizens and authorities, reviewing unlawful actions, and offering remedies when rights are violated. The logic is: elected institutions exercise power; the Constitution places limits on that power; independent courts check whether those limits are respected. B is wrong because an independent judiciary does not stop all elections. C is wrong because Parliament remains a public constitutional institution, not a private body. D is wrong because judges do not make ministers permanent and cannot remove democratic accountability. Memory cue: democracy needs both majority rule and constitutional limits; independent courts help maintain the balance.
