Why can rights be called a safety line for citizens in democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they protect citizens from arbitrariness by government and powerful groups

The correct answer is B: rights protect citizens from arbitrary action by the government and powerful groups. A safety line marks a boundary that should not be crossed. Similarly, democratic rights place limits on authority and protect freedom, equality and dignity. They do not mean that citizens may disobey every law; lawful restrictions can exist for public order and the rights of others. A is wrong because citizens are subject to valid law, although the law must respect rights. C is wrong because rights support speech, association, movement and participation, not voting alone. D is wrong because courts and other institutions may be needed to enforce rights. Memory cue: rights are a boundary against arbitrary power.
