Why is it incomplete to discuss only rights while explaining the need for a constitution?

Correct answer: Because a constitution also establishes institutions, division of power, shared values, and procedures

Direct answer: A is correct because a constitution does much more than list rights. First, it creates or describes important institutions such as the legislature, executive, and judiciary. Second, it distributes power among these institutions and between different levels of government. Third, it expresses shared values and sets procedures for making, applying, and changing laws. Rights are an essential part because they protect citizens, but rights need institutions and procedures for their protection. Option A is correct because it includes this wider constitutional framework. Option B is false: constitutions commonly guarantee rights. Option C is false: protecting rights is a central purpose of democratic government. Option D is false: rights do not themselves form a government; constitutional rules organise government and define its powers. Memory cue: remember “rights plus rules, institutions, values, and procedures.”
