What difference between majoritarianism and democracy did South Africa's constitution-making show?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: लोकतंत्र में अधिकार और अल्पसंख्यक सुरक्षा भी जरूरी है

Correct answer: B, democracy requires rights and minority protection as well as majority rule. Majoritarianism treats the wishes of the numerical majority as sufficient, even when they harm minorities. Constitutional democracy is broader: people choose representatives and make decisions, but those decisions must operate within rules that protect equal citizenship, basic rights, and lawful treatment for every group. South Africa's experience showed why ending one group's domination must not simply create domination by another group. A is wrong because majority approval alone cannot justify violating rights. C is wrong because a Constitution helps set limits and safeguards for democratic power. D is wrong because majoritarian decisions can sometimes produce inequality or exclusion. The correct balance is majority decision-making under constitutional limits and with protection for minorities. Memory cue: democracy means majority rule with rights, not majority rule without limits.
