The term "Quo-Warranto" has a literal meaning of "By what authority (or) warrant". This term is derived from Latin and is used in legal contexts. "Quo" translates to "By what" and "warranto" translates to "authority (or) warrant". In legal proceedings, a remedy of Quo-Warranto may be sought to question the authority by which someone holds a particular office or position. It is used to determine whether the person or entity in question has the legal right or authority to exercise the powers associated with that office or position. It is important to note that the term "Quo-Warranto" is not synonymous with "We command" (option 1) or "To forbid" (option 2), as these options do not capture the accurate literal meaning of the term.
