Which principle did South Africa's new Constitution strengthen?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Equality before law

Correct answer: D. Equality before law means that the same law applies to every citizen and that no person should receive different legal status merely because of race or birth. This principle directly opposed apartheid, which had created racial categories and unequal treatment. The new Constitution strengthened equal citizenship, rights and democratic government, so public authority could no longer be justified by racial superiority. D is correct because equality before law is a basic constitutional principle of a rights-based democracy. A is wrong because democratic office is not supposed to depend on birth. B is wrong because the Constitution rejected racial superiority. C is wrong because democracy does not give permanent power to one group; governments must be accountable and citizens must have equal status. Memory cue: democracy replaces inherited or racial privilege with equal legal citizenship.
