Reading the passage

Parliament passed new laws. That was how it could undo a ruling it disliked, and it's why we identified parliament as the old system's final legal authority. Let's match that detail.

Working the answers

  • A

    The constitutional court belongs to the new arrangement, not the old mechanism described here.

  • B

    The relevant sentence names parliament, not concerned citizens, as the actor counteracting the judges.

  • C
    Correct

    Paragraph one says that when parliament disagreed with judges, it enacted legislation that reversed the effect of those decisions. That directly answers the question.

  • D

    The bill of rights is part of the new system. It wasn't the old parliament's means of counteracting rulings.

  • E

    We aren't told that other judges did this. Parliament passed the new laws.
