What was the most difficult task in South Africa's constitution-making?

Correct answer: Building trust between former rulers and the oppressed majority

Correct answer: B. Constitution-making took place after years of apartheid, when the formerly ruling minority and the oppressed majority had strong reasons to distrust each other. They had to find a way to create common rules without allowing fear, revenge or continued racial privilege to dominate the new state. Building trust made negotiation and agreement possible, and it helped different groups accept a shared Constitution. Option B is correct because trust between former rulers and the oppressed majority was the central political and moral challenge. Option A is only an administrative detail, not the deepest constitutional problem. Option C concerns construction, not democratic agreement. Option D is symbolic and much less important than deciding rights, institutions and citizenship. Memory cue: after injustice, a shared Constitution requires trust and consensus.
