Why has the judiciary been given the power to interpret the Constitution?

Correct answer: So the correct meaning of the Constitution can be applied in disputes

Correct answer: A. The Constitution contains principles, rights, duties and rules about the powers of institutions. Disputes may arise about the meaning of a provision or about whether an action follows it. The judiciary interprets the constitutional text and applies that meaning to the facts of the case. This helps protect rights, settle disputes and maintain the limits placed on government power. A is correct because interpretation makes constitutional rules workable in real cases. B is wrong because the Constitution guides the whole political system and protects citizens, not only courts. C is wrong because constitutional interpretation can help citizens claim their rights. D is wrong because interpretation does not turn written law into oral law. Memory cue: interpretation connects constitutional words with real-life disputes.
