The President of Country Y issues an executive order that closes all private schools for six months, citing a public‑health emergency. The order was not passed by the National Assembly. The constitution states that any restriction on the right to education must be made by law enacted by the legislature. Does the executive order comply with the rule of law? Explain your reasoning.

Answer Options

A. Yes, it is permissible under the rule of law since the constitution grants the executive authority to close schools during emergencies.
B. No, it violates the rule of law, but the violation stems from infringing the right to education rather than the absence of a legislative enactment.
C. Yes, it complies with the rule of law because the President may act unilaterally in a public‑health emergency without a legislative act.
Correct Answer D. No, it violates the rule of law because the restriction was not made by a law passed by the legislature, breaching the principle of legality.
