Why is the Constitution in South Africa's democratic journey seen as a beginning rather than only a final agreement?

Correct answer: Because democratic institutions and justice had to be implemented after it

Correct answer: A. A Constitution establishes principles, rights, institutions and procedures, but its existence alone does not automatically transform society. After South Africa adopted a democratic constitutional framework, public institutions had to follow it, rights had to be protected, discriminatory practices had to be challenged and citizens had to participate in democratic life. Option A is correct because implementation gives constitutional promises practical meaning. Option B is wrong because democracy requires elections and accountability rather than stopping them. Option C is wrong because the new order rejected apartheid. Option D is wrong because a Constitution is a binding framework of rules and principles, not merely a symbol. Memory cue: a Constitution is a roadmap; institutions and citizens must travel the road.
