Why is the judiciary considered a protector of the rule of law?

Correct answer: Because it keeps all persons and institutions, including the government, subject to law

The correct answer is A. The rule of law means that no individual, institution, or government is above the law. The judiciary interprets the Constitution and laws, settles disputes, protects rights, and can examine whether government actions follow legal and constitutional limits. In this way, even public authorities must act according to law rather than personal wishes or political power. Option A is correct because it expresses the central idea of equality before law and legal limits on government. Option B is wrong because election campaigns are organised by political parties and candidates under election rules. Option C is wrong because Members of Parliament are chosen through elections by voters. Option D is wrong because manifestos are prepared by political parties. The judiciary does not govern the country or make every policy; its protective role is to ensure that decisions and actions remain within the Constitution and law. Memory cue: under rule of law, even the government must obey the law.
