Question :
Directions : A situation/passage is given below. Read the passage/situation carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Laws, regulations, rules, and principles - whether civil, moral, commercial, athletic or some other sort - are by their nature general. They have to be, to effectively cover a large number and broad range of circumstances and cases. As the legal theorist H L A Hart explains in The Concept of Law (1961), no society could work if its members had to be separately and directly informed by some representative of the sovereign authority whether their actions were permitted or forbidden. You can't expect the holder of executive office to have to determine in every single case whether persons may or may not do what they intend to do.
What is/are the possible reason(s) for the need of the holder of the executive office for intervention with respect to laws?
1. The relative generality and simplicity of laws and rules means that their implementation and enforcement require mediation.
2. A publicly accessible list of actions that specifies what each particular individual is allowed to do under what circumstances and when is unworkable.
3. More than one option is correct but not all of them.
4. Someone has to determine the applicability of a law or rule to a particular case, as well as the propriety of applying it.
5. All of the above
