Statement & Assumption — “Order can be maintained only when law is enforceable. Law is a corpus of rules to be obeyed by all without exception.” Which assumptions are implicit? I. Acceptance of law by people is necessary for its effectiveness. II. There exists a section of people who act as a law unto themselves.

Introduction / Context:The statement links social order to enforceable law “to be obeyed by all.” Enforceability is not merely coercion; it also rests on a baseline of public acceptance/legitimacy for broad compliance.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Order depends on enforceable, generally obeyed rules.
• Uniform obedience is emphasised.

Concept / Approach:Assumption I is necessary: without a general acceptance of the law’s authority, universal obedience is unrealistic and “order via law” becomes hollow. Assumption II (existence of a rogue section) is not necessary to the general claim; the statement would still be valid even if everyone were disposed to obey, provided the law remained enforceable.

Step-by-Step Solution:I: Implicit—effectiveness hinges on public recognition of law’s legitimacy.II: Not implicit—the claim does not require positing a specific defiant group.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Including II imports an extra sociological claim not needed by the argument.

Final Answer:Only Assumption I is implicit.
