<span>The correct answer is C. Protect citizen rights.
Governments should not inhibit any civil rights that are usually outlined in the constitution of the government’s country. It is the government’s duty to provide things like laws and supreme courts and constitution amendments in order to ensure that all citizens have equal rights regardless of their gender, race, religious beliefs, or anything similar. Usually, governments that try to oppress their people experience a coup or anything similar and it ends in a not very pleasurable manner. </span>
