QUESTION 1
South African constitutional law represents the cornerstone of democracy in South
Africa, embodying the fundamental principles and legal standards that govern the
country. This branch of law, rooted deeply in the nation’s supreme Constitution, dictates
not only the legal structure of the state and the distribution of governmental powers but
also underscores the indelible rights and duties of its citizens. At its core, constitutional
law in South Africa aims to balance the exercise of authority with the preservation of
individual freedoms, ensuring that the specter of apartheid's injustices never again
darkens its horizons.
