What type of government did European settlers create in South Africa in 1909?

Answer
A
a democratic republic that included all citizens
B
a democratic republic that excluded many citizens
C
a parliamentary government that included all citizens
D
a parliamentary government that excluded many citizens

Explanation

In 1909, the South Africa Act established the Union of South Africa as a parliamentary government under the British Crown. Political rights were limited, especially for Black South Africans, so the government excluded many citizens rather than including everyone. The correct choice is “a parliamentary government that excluded many citizens.”
