What was the role of moral legitimacy in making the anti-apartheid struggle successful?

Correct answer: It made anti-discrimination demands just and worthy of broad support

Direct answer: B is correct. Moral legitimacy means that a political demand is seen as fair, principled and worthy of support, not merely as an attempt to gain power. The anti-apartheid struggle appealed to equality, human dignity and opposition to racial discrimination. These principles showed why a system that denied rights on the basis of race was unjust. Because the demand was connected to widely understandable ideas of justice, it could attract support from oppressed people and from others who believed that government should respect human equality. A is the opposite of the historical meaning of the struggle. C is wrong because the movement challenged minority rule. D is wrong because the need for a constitutional framework remained important. Memory cue: moral legitimacy turns a political demand into a justice claim.
