In the exam (French)
L'État peut-il limiter les droits et libertés ?
- aNo, never: freedoms have no limits in FranceNon, jamais : les libertés n'ont aucune limite en France
- bYes, at any time and without having to justify it before a judgeOui, à tout moment et sans avoir à se justifier devant un juge
- cYes, by law, to protect public order or the rights of othersOui, par la loi, pour protéger l'ordre public ou les droits des autresCorrect answer
- dYes, but only the freedoms of foreign nationalsOui, mais seulement les libertés des personnes étrangères
Why?
Freedoms are not absolute: the State can limit them to protect public order, safety, health or the rights of others. These limits must be set by law, be proportionate and be open to review by a judge. For example, it is forbidden to hide your face in public spaces.
