How did the white minority and the black majority agree to draw up a common constitution for South Africa?

The white minority and the black majority in South Africa reached an agreement to draft a common constitution through a series of negotiations and dialogues facilitated by the end of apartheid in the early 1990s. Key figures, including Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk, engaged in discussions aimed at ensuring political representation and protecting human rights for all citizens. The Constitutional Assembly was formed, which included representatives from various political groups, leading to the adoption of a new constitution in 1996 that emphasized equality, democracy, and the rule of law. This collaborative process marked a significant transition towards a more inclusive and representative governance structure.
