Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Unfair laws can lead to conflict among the general public.
B Not every citizen of the country will look upon the law favourably.
C Such laws may be declared as unconstitutional by the courts.

Laws are supposed to be fair and are meant to treat all citizens as equals. Unfair laws may be designed to favour one set of citizens over another. Such laws may be scrutinised in the concerned courts of the country. If found to be unfair and discriminatory in nature, these courts can strike down such laws.
