Why was the absence of legal equality under apartheid harmful to democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it made citizenship unequal on the basis of race

Correct answer: B. Legal equality means that all citizens are treated equally by the law and enjoy equal civic status. Apartheid denied this principle by giving different rights, opportunities and political status to people according to race. A democracy cannot be genuine when one racial group has greater citizenship rights and another is legally excluded or subordinated. Option A is wrong because apartheid did not make everyone free; it restricted the freedom of the black majority. Option B is correct because racial classification made citizenship unequal and weakened equal participation. Option C is wrong because apartheid courts operated within a discriminatory legal system, not as proof of equality. Option D is wrong because discrimination makes constitutional government unjust, not stronger. Memory cue: democracy requires equal citizens, not merely elections.
