Why is transparent process in a Constitution as important as the outcome of governance?

Correct answer: Because process creates legitimacy and trust

Correct answer: A. A good result is important, but people also need to know that decisions were made through a fair, understandable, and constitutionally permitted process. Transparency allows citizens to see who made a decision, what rules were followed, what reasons were given, and how the decision can be questioned or reviewed. This creates legitimacy: people are more willing to accept a decision when they believe the procedure was fair, even if they disagree with the result. A is correct because openness builds trust and limits arbitrary power. B is wrong because outcomes affect people's lives and therefore do matter. C is wrong because secrecy makes misuse harder to detect. D is wrong because proper procedures protect rights rather than end them. Memory cue: fair result plus fair process creates durable trust.
