If a Constitution aims to prevent repetition of old injustice, which provision would be most suitable in South Africa?

Correct answer: A ban on racial discrimination and equal rights

Correct answer: A. To prevent an injustice from returning, a Constitution must reject the principle that one race may dominate another. A ban on racial discrimination and a guarantee of equal rights directly oppose the rules and practices of apartheid. A is correct because it protects equality and makes racial exclusion inconsistent with the constitutional order. B is wrong because giving voting rights only to whites would reproduce political inequality. C is wrong because compulsory separation in housing would continue the logic of apartheid rather than end it. D is wrong because permanent power for one race denies democracy and equal citizenship. A constitutional safeguard is meaningful when it protects people in law and guides public institutions, not merely when it expresses a wish. Memory cue: to stop old discrimination, constitutionally prohibit discrimination and guarantee equality.
