ABSTRACT

This article pays attention to constitutional protection against administrative abuse. Laying emphasis will be given on the role that the courts play guaranteeing the rights of the individual and ensuring accountability in the government. The main judicial landmarks of precedent demonstrating the proper wielding of constitutional provisions such as due process and equal protection, among others, are presented in this discussion. This article illustrates through several key cases how legal standards have been shaped by the judiciary while taking protective measures about citizens from arbitrary administrative action. The important aspect that the discussion brings forth is the call for constitutional protection, legislative reforms, and enlightenment of the public to know how democracy should remain safe against ongoing challenges. The findings , therefore do conclude with the recommendation of a symbiotic balance between government authority and individual liberties that would be vital for just and transparent governance.
