How does South Africa's example clarify the limits of majoritarianism?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It shows that even majority will must be limited by rights

Correct answer: A. Majoritarianism means allowing the majority to rule without sufficient protection for minorities or individuals. South Africa’s history shows why this is dangerous: a racial group used political power to deny equality and rights to the majority of the population. A democracy is not only majority rule; it is also rule according to constitutional rights, equality and lawful procedures. B is wrong because every person, including members of a majority, has rights. C is wrong because oppression is not a necessary or legitimate role of any minority. D is wrong because a Constitution can protect citizens and limit rulers. The lesson is that winning an election does not give a government unlimited power. Memory cue: majority rule plus rights protection equals constitutional democracy.
