Why is independence of judiciary necessary for citizens' rights in a Constitution?

Correct answer: Because independent courts can check government arbitrariness

Direct answer: A is correct. Judicial independence means that courts can decide cases according to the Constitution and law, without improper pressure from the executive, legislature or powerful individuals. If a government violates a citizen's right, an independent court can examine the action, hear the affected person and grant an appropriate legal remedy. This makes constitutional rights real rather than merely written promises. A is correct because independent courts can check arbitrary state action impartially. B is wrong because courts must apply law, not automatically support government. C is wrong because citizens need an institution where rights violations can be challenged. D is wrong because constitutional rights are not dependent only on the changing wishes of Parliament. Memory cue: rights need an independent referee to be enforceable.
