How did the new Constitution in South Africa distance itself from old apartheid laws?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It adopted equal rights and anti-discrimination principles

Correct answer: C. Apartheid laws made race the basis of legal and political privilege. The new Constitution broke with that past by recognising equal rights and rejecting discrimination based on race. It treated citizenship as a common political status and placed human dignity and equality at the centre of public law. A is wrong because continuing racial privilege would preserve apartheid. B is wrong because restricting law to whites would reproduce racial domination. D is wrong because linking citizenship to race is the opposite of equal citizenship. The important change was not merely a new government but a new legal principle: the state must protect rights equally. Memory cue: old rule classified people by race; the new Constitution protected people as equal citizens.
