Why was equality made so prominent in South Africa's democratic constitution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the old system was based on racial inequality

Direct answer: A is correct. Apartheid organised political and social life around racial inequality, so the new democratic constitution had to reject that history and establish equality as a central value. Equality meant that citizens should have equal legal and political status and should not be denied rights because of race. B is wrong because people were clearly not already equal under apartheid. C is wrong because the constitution aimed to remove discrimination, not strengthen it. D is wrong because equality and democratic elections support one another; removing elections would not create equality. Memory cue: when a society suffers from a particular injustice, its new constitution often gives special importance to the opposite democratic value.
