Question 6 of 14beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer4 marks

Write true or false against each of these statements:

(a)

A Bill of Rights lays down the rights enjoyed by the people of a country.

Answer

True. A Bill of Rights is a document that lays down the rights enjoyed by the people of a country.

(b)

A Bill of Rights protects the liberties of an individual.

Answer

True. It protects the liberties of an individual by imposing restrictions on the power of the state.

(c)

Every country of the world has a Bill of Rights.

Answer

False. Not every country of the world has a Bill of Rights; for instance, the United Kingdom does not have a codified Bill of Rights.

(d)

The Constitution guarantees remedy against violation of Rights.

Answer

True. The Constitution guarantees remedy against violation of rights, as rights are described as 'protected by the Constitution' and enforceable through courts.

Explanation

The answers are based on the standard understanding of Rights in Political Science. Statement (a) and (b) are true as the Bill of Rights is the instrument that enumerates and protects citizens' rights. Statement (c) is false because while most democracies have a Bill of Rights, countries like the United Kingdom do not have a single codified document for it. Statement (d) is true; the context from Question 2 supports this by defining Fundamental Rights as 'rights given and protected by the Constitution', and Question 8 illustrates how courts provide remedies for violations.
