QUESTION 1
1.1 Name one South African constitution of which you have learned in this module that
embraced an approach of complete denial of the principle of constitutionalism.
In Learning Unit 1 of the study guide, the South African Constitution that embraced an
approach of complete denial of the principle of constitutionalism was the Apartheid-era

Parliament, denying constitutionalism by allowing laws that could override fundamental

higher legal authority like a constitution.

statement that the current governmental structure is not based on parliamentary

invalid, and the obligations imposed by it must be fulfilled.”

in the Constitution. If any law or action conflicts with the Constitution, it can be declared
invalid by the courts, reinforcing the idea that South Africa’s governmental structure is now
