How does including minority safeguards in the new Constitution balance majority democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It keeps majority power within rights and safeguards

Correct answer: A. Majority rule is an important part of democracy, but it is not permission for the majority to remove the rights of minorities. Constitutional safeguards set boundaries on government and protect every group from discrimination, exclusion and arbitrary treatment. In South Africa, the new democratic order had to replace racial domination with equal citizenship and confidence among previously divided communities. A is correct because it allows the majority to govern while requiring it to respect constitutional rights and protections. B is wrong because safeguards do not exclude the majority; they protect minorities and apply fairly within the constitutional order. C is wrong because protecting minorities does not remove the need for elections. D is wrong because enforceable safeguards give the Constitution practical importance. Memory cue: democracy is majority rule with minority rights, not majority rule without limits.
