Constitutionalism, Civil Liberties and Development : A Case Study of Ghana since Independence

---

All over the developing world, matters are in a state of flux.
Many of the political institutions with which the independent
nations of Africa entered the post-independence era have
been changed. In many of these states, the story run the same
course: independence ushered in a brief period of “constitutional
government’ modelled on the governmental institutions of the
imperial country, then gave way to one-party rule and finally the
military ended the scenario with a coup d ’etat. In addition tc th*
afflictions brought on these nations by political instability,, thfc
nations are also experiencing massive social change. At the same
time, the leaders of these states have had to embark on programmes
designed to bring the benefits of modem technology to their fellowcountrymen.
It is commonly asserted these days that the lot of
developing countries in spite of (or perhaps because of it) their
attempts to modernise themselves has been turmoil, warfare,
political chaos and economic stagnation.
