The political executives have more power than the permanent ones. Since the will of the people is supreme in a democracy, the ministers elected by the people are empowered to exercise the will of the people on their behalf. It is the political executive which is ultimately answerable to the people for all consequences. The minister takes the advice of the experts on all technical matters and then finally decides the issue.

Rights help the minorities and the oppressed from exploitation and oppression.
Things many go wrong when somebody’s rights are taken away by the majority. Therefore, the Right to protect oneself is also essential.
