Why was politics of consensus necessary in South Africa's democratic transition?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because society had emerged from deep racial division

Correct answer: A. South Africa was moving from apartheid, a system that had created deep racial inequality, distrust, and conflict. In such a situation, one group imposing rules on all others could produce fear and resistance. Consensus politics meant that representatives of different communities tried to agree on basic democratic principles, rights, institutions, and procedures. Agreement did not mean that every person thought exactly alike; it meant that the new rules gained enough acceptance to make peaceful cooperation possible. A is correct because deep racial division made negotiation and mutual confidence necessary. B is wrong because the society had experienced serious conflict. C is wrong because a constitution has practical importance: it organises power and protects rights. D is wrong because the democratic transition aimed at equal participation, not restricted voting. Memory cue: deep division requires shared rules built through dialogue.
