Historical Foundations of South African Law
QUESTION 1
1.1 One example of a South African constitution that completely denied the principle of
constitutionalism is the South Africa Act of 1909. This act placed power almost entirely
in the hands of the British government and ignored the principle of constitutionalism,
meaning it did not ensure that the government could be held accountable or limited by
the law.
1.2 Evidence from the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa shows that
South Africa is no longer based on parliamentary supremacy but on constitutional
supremacy. This is supported by:
Section 1(c), which states that the Constitution is the supreme law of the country,
and any law or conduct inconsistent with it is invalid.
Section 2 reinforces this by confirming that the Constitution has the highest
authority.
Section 165 ensures that courts have the power to review acts of Parliament and
strike them down if they violate the Constitution, showing that even Parliament is
not above the law.
Section 44(4) further states that Parliament must act within the boundaries set by
the Constitution.
This proves that in modern South Africa, the government is accountable to the
Constitution, not Parliament.
