The South African example is important in constitutional design because it shows what?

Correct answer: Constitution can transform a conflict-ridden society into a new democratic framework

Direct answer: B is correct. South Africa had been divided by apartheid, a system of racial discrimination in which political rights were not equally available to all people. When that system ended, the country needed more than a change of rulers; it needed agreed rules for equal citizenship, rights, institutions and democratic government. A constitution performs this important work by describing how power will be exercised and by protecting citizens from unfair treatment. A is wrong because election symbols are only a small electoral detail, not the main purpose of a constitution. C is wrong because a constitution responds to a society’s conflicts and aspirations. D is wrong because taxation is only one possible subject of government law. Memory cue: a constitution is the rulebook for democratic power and rights, not merely an election or tax document.
