Why is a balance between judicial independence and accountability necessary?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: So courts remain independent and trust in the justice process is maintained

The correct answer is A. Judicial independence protects judges from improper political or personal pressure, allowing them to decide cases according to law and evidence. Accountability ensures that courts and judges follow legal procedures, give reasons, respect rights, and remain subject to lawful standards and review. Both values are necessary: without independence, judges may fear the government; without accountability, public confidence may weaken because power could appear unchecked. Option A correctly expresses this balance. Option B is wrong because government subordination destroys judicial independence. Option C is wrong because judges are not required to contest elections in order to be accountable. Option D is wrong because the Constitution provides the framework for both independence and accountability. Accountability should not mean punishment merely because someone dislikes a judgment; it means lawful scrutiny, reasoned procedure, and responsibility for misconduct where the Constitution or law provides. Memory cue: independence protects fair decisions; accountability protects public trust.
