Why is denial of public employment on the basis of place of birth wrong?

Correct answer: Because the Constitution gives equal opportunity to all citizens

Correct answer: A. Public employment is an area in which citizens should be judged by relevant conditions such as qualifications and lawful criteria, not simply by where they were born. The constitutional principle of equality of opportunity rejects arbitrary discrimination based on place of birth. A is correct because it states the connection between citizenship and fair access to public employment. B is wrong: birthplace does not prove ability, honesty, or merit. C is wrong because public jobs are not reserved only for capital residents. D is wrong because even if a particular job is not guaranteed to every person, the selection process must still respect equality and non-discrimination. Memory cue: ask whether the reason is relevant to the job; birthplace alone is not a fair measure of merit.
