What is a MANDAMUS?

  1. A formal reprimand

  2. An instrument ordering a specific duty performance

  3. A declaration of innocence

  4. A request for appearance in court

The correct answer is: An instrument ordering a specific duty performance

A mandamus is an official order or command issued by a court to a government agency or public official to fulfill their legally obligated duty. It is used as a means of enforcing the performance of a specific action or duty that is required by law. A formal reprimand, declaration of innocence, or request for appearance in court do not accurately describe a mandamus. A formal reprimand is a disciplinary action, a declaration of innocence is a legal statement, and a request for appearance in court is a summons. Therefore, these options are incorrect in the context of what a mandamus actually is.
