Constitutional supremacy is arguably one of the most important attributes of a true constitutional democracy.2 Section 2 of the Constitution provides that the Constitution is the supreme law of the Republic and that any law or conduct which is inconsistent with it is invalid.3 The Constitution thus functions as the yardstick against which all laws and actions are judged.4 Any law or conduct inconsistent with the Constitution may be challenged.enDiscriminationLabour lawMental healthWorld Health Organization (WHO)United KingdomUniversity of the Western Cape
