Constitution of Cape Verde

National Constitutions of Africa and the Middle East

Cape Verde's constitution, adopted in 1980, has been amended seven times, most significantly in 1992 when the country entrenched political pluralism and a multi party balance of powers after the end of one party rule, and again in 1999 when it was redefined as a sovereign, unitary and democratic republic guaranteeing respect for human dignity and the inviolability of human rights. It establishes three branches of government: an executive of president and prime minister, a legislative National Assembly, and a judiciary headed by a Supreme Court of Justice.
