What are the three elements of standing under Article III?

• A. Injury in fact, causation, and redressability
• B. Injury in fact only
• C. Causation and redressability only
• D. Standing requires injury and harm to the public interest

Answer: (A)

Standing under Article III requires three things: injury in fact, causation, and redressability. Injury in fact means you have suffered or will suffer a real, concrete harm that is actual or imminent and not just a generalized grievance. Causation means the injury is fairly traceable to the defendant’s challenged conduct. Redressability means a court’s favorable decision could remedy the injury, so the relief sought would actually affect the outcome. When all three are present, a party has standing to sue.
