Answer:

Newton's First Law:
If no net force acts on an object it remains at rest, if initially at rest, or it maintains its velocity if initially in motion.

If the object is at rest, net force on the object is equal to zero; therefore, the downward force (weight) must be equal to the upward force (normal force).
