Why does a Constitution make citizens’ rights safer than ordinary law?

Correct answer: Because the Constitution is the supreme law and protects rights

Correct answer: A. Ordinary laws are made by the legislature and can usually be changed by a later legislature. Constitutional provisions have a higher status, so ordinary laws and government actions must conform to them. If a law violates a constitutional right, constitutional institutions such as courts may examine it and provide a remedy according to the legal system. This makes rights more secure than a promise made in an ordinary statute or by a temporary government. A is correct because constitutional supremacy places rights above ordinary political convenience. B is wrong because ordinary laws cannot be treated as superior to the Constitution. C is wrong because writing rights gives them clearer recognition and stronger protection; it does not destroy them. D is wrong because rights are essential safeguards for citizens in a democracy. Remember that ‘supreme law’ does not mean that every dispute disappears; it means that government power is judged against the constitutional standard.
