    Why do some rights need to be placed higher than the government?

    Answer:

    (i) Things may go wrong when some citizens may wish to take away the rights of others. This usually happens when those in majority want to dominate in the minority.
    (ii) The government should protect the citizens' rights in such a situation. But sometimes elected governments may not protect or may even attack the rights of their own citizens
    (iii) That is why some rights need to be placed higher than the government so that the government cannot violate them.
