(1b)

(ii) Protects fundamental human rights: The constitution protects the basic rights and freedom of citizens, such as freedom of speech, movement, religion, association and expression. This ensures that citizens are not oppressed or unfairly treated by the government.
(iii) Promotes the rule of law: The constitution ensures that everybody in the country, including the president, governors, government officials and ordinary citizens, is subject to the law. Nobody is above the law.
(iv) Prevents abuse of power: The constitution places limitations on the powers of political leaders and government officials. This prevents leaders from using their positions to oppress citizens, misuse public funds or rule the country according to their personal wishes.
(v) Promotes political stability: The constitution provides established rules and guidelines for governing the country. This helps to prevent unnecessary political crises, confusion and conflicts, thereby promoting peace, unity and stability.

(iv) Prevents exchange of infected body fluids: Condoms act as a physical barrier that prevents infected semen and vaginal fluids from entering the sexual partner's body, thereby reducing the possibility of HIV infection.

(v) Reduces the spread of HIV: Abstinence, faithfulness to one HIV-negative partner and correct condom use help reduce the chances of contracting and spreading HIV from one person to another.
