What was the importance of the list of rights in South Africa's new order?

Correct answer: इससे नागरिकों की स्वतंत्रता और समानता सुरक्षित हुई

Correct answer: B, it protected citizens' liberty and equality. A constitutional list or bill of rights states important freedoms and protections that the government must respect. In South Africa's new order, such protection was especially important because the earlier apartheid system had denied equality and basic freedoms to the majority. Rights limit the power of rulers and give citizens a standard against which unjust laws or actions can be challenged. A is wrong because rights are meant for citizens, not only rulers. C is wrong because the democratic transition expanded political participation rather than ending voting rights. D is wrong because courts help interpret and protect constitutional rights; a rights list does not require closing them. Rights are not unlimited permission to harm others, but they do provide equal legal protection and dignity. Memory cue: a bill of rights is a shield for citizens against arbitrary power.
