Democratic Party: Submission to Theme Committee 1 on (A) Single Sovereign State and (B) Supremacy of the Constitution

Submission by the Democratic Party (DP) to Theme Committee 1. This brief submission deals with the constitutional principles concerning a single sovereign state and the supremacy of the constitution. The Democratic Party argues for the creation of a federal system, but states that this argument will not detract from their commitment to the creation of a single South African nation. They further believe that the Constitution should be the supreme law and that all executive actions and legislative measures should have to conform.
