Why does protection of Fundamental Rights increase citizens' trust in democracy?

Correct answer: Because citizens know legal remedy is available against injustice

Direct answer: A, citizens know that a legal remedy is available against injustice. Democracy is more than voting; it also requires protection of people’s rights and limits on public power. When citizens know that an alleged violation can be questioned before an independent court or through another lawful remedy, they are more confident that the Constitution has practical meaning. A is correct because access to remedy turns a promise into a usable protection. B is wrong because suppressing criticism weakens democracy and freedom. C is wrong because rights give citizens claims against violations. D is wrong because courts are important institutions for protecting rights, not institutions that avoid them. A remedy does not guarantee that every case will automatically succeed, but it does provide a lawful way to seek justice. Memory cue: “Trust grows when rights have a remedy.”
