Why is it wrong to think that the judiciary's role is limited only to punishing criminals?

Correct answer: Because the judiciary also protects rights, resolves disputes and interprets the Constitution

Correct answer: A. Criminal punishment is only one part of judicial work. Courts also hear civil disputes, decide constitutional questions, protect fundamental and legal rights, interpret laws, review government action and settle disputes between institutions or levels of government. The reasoning is that society has many kinds of legal conflict: a person may challenge unlawful state action, two parties may disagree over property, or a law may be tested against the Constitution. A is correct because it describes this broad role. B is wrong because sports administration is not the defining function of courts. C is wrong because courts apply and interpret law; lack of legal knowledge is not their role. D is wrong because tax collection is an executive administrative function, not the judiciary’s general task. Memory cue: courts resolve legal disputes and protect law, not merely punish offenders.
