Suggest ways for safeguarding rights.

The ways for safeguarding the rights are described below:

(i) They must be incorporated in the Constitution of the country as fundamental rights. They must be in a written form.

(ii) There should be the rule of law. The government must work according to the Constitution. There should be equality before law and equal protection by the law.

(iii) There should be free and honest press. The print media is the best safeguard against any despotic government. Another safeguard is external vigilance by the people. They must be ready to fight for their rights.

(iv) There should be a decentralisation of power. Concentration of power in one or few hands leads to violation of the rights of the people.
