Why is public debate necessary when rights are violated in democracy?

Correct answer: Because it exposes injustice and creates pressure for reform

Correct answer: C. Public debate means that citizens, journalists, organisations, representatives, and institutions can discuss a possible violation openly and lawfully. Such discussion can bring hidden injustice to public attention, allow affected people to share their experiences, and require authorities to explain their actions. Public attention may create pressure for investigation, accountability, policy change, or other lawful reform. Debate does not itself decide every case, but it helps democratic institutions notice problems and respond. A is wrong because debate is meant to defend and improve rights, not end them. B is wrong because silence allows injustice to remain hidden. D is wrong because rights affect public rules and social equality, not only private matters. Memory cue: public debate reveals, questions, and helps reform; it is not a license for violence or false accusations.
