<P> The Interim Constitution contained 34 constitutional principles with which the new constitution was required to comply . These included multi-party democracy with regular elections and universal adult suffrage , supremacy of the constitution over all other law , a quasi-federal system in place of centralised government , non-racism and non-sexism , the protection of `` all universally accepted fundamental rights , freedoms and civil liberties , '' equality before the law , the separation of powers with an impartial judiciary , provincial and local levels of government with democratic representation , and protection of the diversity of languages and cultures . The Bill of Rights , now in Chapter Two of the Constitution of South Africa , was largely written by Kader Asmal and Albie Sachs . The new constitutional text was to be tested against these principles by the newly established Constitutional Court . If the text complied with the principles , it would become the new constitution ; if it did not , it would be referred back to the Constitutional Assembly . </P>
