After the end of apartheid what document did South Africa adopt?

New Constitution

Answer: B, a new Constitution. After apartheid, South Africa needed an agreed set of rules for a democratic society. A constitution defines the structure and powers of government and records important principles and rights. South Africa adopted a new Constitution to establish a democratic framework, protect equality and prevent a return to racial domination. A is wrong because a war plan is not the basic legal framework of a democracy. C is wrong because a king’s order would suggest monarchy, not a constitutional democratic settlement. D is wrong because a trade list concerns commerce, not citizens’ political rights. Memory cue: when a country makes a peaceful democratic transition, think of a constitution as the rulebook that protects equal citizenship.
