Points for Body of A constitution is a collection of laws that protects the rights
lesson of individuals. It also states the manner in which a country
must be run. In 1996, the constitution was accepted. It is
the most powerful law of the country. The police, the army
and even the government must obey the constitution. The
constitution does the following:

• It describes how the government functions; how it is

formed and how it is elected.

• It outlines the power that the government has.

• It makes sure that the rights of all the citizens are

protected.
 • It sets out how the government will be accountable to the
people who elect it.

The South African Constitution

In the opening lines of the South African constitution, we

can see the emphasis on dignity, justice and equality:

“We, the people of South Africa, recognise the injustices of

our

past; honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in

our land

respect those who have worked to build and develop our

country;

and believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it,
united in

our diversity.”

The constitution is harder to change than ordinary laws and

requires two-thirds of the members of parliament to vote for
it to be changed. The role of parliament is to make the laws
of the country.

The importance of rules and laws

In order to prevent chaos, society, like a sport, needs rules

and laws to be in place. Imagine a cricket match with no
rules or laws - there would be chaos on the field and, more
than likely, somebody would be injured. As citizens of our
country, rules and laws tell us what we can and can’t do.
The laws and rules help to ensure that people can live side
by side, peacefully, with one another.
