Home›National Constitutions of Africa and the Middle East›Country or JurisdictionBrowse ByCountry or JurisdictionThis dimension groups legal codes by the country or jurisdiction they govern.

Browsing this way collects every code belonging to the same country or jurisdiction.FactsCountry or JurisdictionSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining CharacteristicWell-attestedA constitution, or supreme law, is the aggregate of fundamental principles or established precedents that constitute the legal basis of a polity, and commonly determines how that entity is to be governed. 1Country or JurisdictionFilter Results69 entriesLegal SystemAllCivil Law (6)Common Law (2)Customary Law (1)Israeli Law (1)Law of Algeria (1)Law of Angola (1)Law of Bahrain (1)Law of Benin (1)Law of Botswana (1)Law of Burkina Faso (1)Law of Burundi (1)Law of Cabo Verde (1)Law of Cameroon (1)Law of Chad (1)Law of Cote d'Ivoire (1)Law of Egypt (1)Law of Eswatini (1)Law of Gabon (1)Law of Guinea-Bissau (1)Law of Jordan (1)Law of Kuwait (1)Law of Lebanon (1)Law of Lesotho (1)Law of Liberia (1)Law of Libya (1)Law of Mozambique (1)Law of Namibia (1)Law of Oman (1)Law of Qatar (1)Law of Rwanda (1)Law of Sao Tome and Principe (1)Law of Somalia (1)Law of Sudan (1)Law of Syria (1)Law of Tanzania (1)Law of the Central African Republic (1)Law of the Ottoman Empire (1)Law of the Republic of the Congo (1)Law of the United Arab Emirates (1)Law of Tunisia (1)Law of Turkey (1)Law of Uganda (1)Law of Yemen (1)Law of Zimbabwe (1)Mixed Systems (14)Sharia (2)South African Law (1)EraAll19th Century (1800-1899) (2)20th Century (1900-1999) (42)21st Century (2000-Present) (27)Legal StatusAllAmended (18)Historical / No Longer in Force (2)In Force (47)Superseded / Replaced (4)Authored ByAllAlbie Sachs (1)Chaloka Beyani (1)Group TreeAllConstitutions of Arab League Member States (14)Constitutions of East African Community Member States (8)Constitutions of ECOWAS Member States (15)Constitutions of Gulf Cooperation Council Member States (6)Constitutions of SADC Member States (13)Area (sq km)All457 (1)786.8 (1)964 (1)2040 (1)2235 (1)4033 (1)10,452 (1)11,300 (1)11,581 (1)17,364 (1)17,818 (1)22,072 (1)23,200 (1)26,338 (1)27,834 (1)28,050 (1)30,355 (1)36,125 (1)56,785 (1)73,252 (1)83,600 (1)89,342 (1)111,369 (1)114,763 (1)118,484 (1)120,000 (1)163,610 (1)185,180 (1)196,722 (1)239,567 (1)241,038 (1)245,857 (1)267,668 (1)274,223 (1)315,331 (1)322,462 (1)342,000 (1)390,757 (1)438,317 (1)446,550 (1)455,503 (1)475,442 (1)580,367 (1)581,730 (1)592,796 (1)622,984 (1)637,657 (1)644,329 (1)752,617 (1)783,562 (1)801,590 (1)825,615 (1)923,769 (1)947,303 (1)996,603 (1)1,030,000 (1)1,104,300 (1)1,220,813 (1)1,241,238 (1)1,246,700 (1)1,267,000 (1)1,280,000 (1)1,648,195 (1)1,700,000 (1)1,759,541 (1)1,886,068 (1)2,149,690 (1)2,345,409 (1)2,381,741 (1)Dissolution or End YearAll1922 (1)Government TypeAllAbsolute Monarchy (4)Constitutional Monarchy (5)Republic (51)Income GroupAllHigh (8)Low (23)Lower-Middle (25)Upper-Middle (12)Independence or Founding YearAll1299 (1)1847 (1)1910 (1)1922 (1)1923 (1)1932 (2)1943 (1)1946 (2)1948 (1)1951 (1)1956 (3)1957 (1)1958 (1)1960 (17)1961 (3)1962 (4)1963 (1)1964 (2)1965 (1)1966 (2)1968 (3)1970 (1)1971 (3)1974 (1)1975 (5)1976 (1)1977 (1)1979 (1)1980 (1)1990 (2)1993 (1)1995 (1)2011 (1)LandlockedAllNo (50)Yes (16)PopulationAll121,355 (1)220,372 (1)491,233 (1)944,388 (1)1,066,809 (1)1,235,260 (1)1,236,126 (1)1,588,670 (1)1,795,834 (1)2,080,000 (1)2,116,427 (1)2,359,609 (1)2,422,712 (1)2,647,400 (1)3,022,401 (1)3,214,609 (1)3,600,000 (1)5,118,445 (1)5,364,482 (1)5,398,645 (1)5,437,249 (1)5,461,319 (1)5,513,282 (1)6,228,784 (1)7,361,263 (1)8,460,512 (1)9,583,381 (1)10,147,200 (1)11,027,129 (1)11,484,805 (1)11,972,169 (1)12,703,714 (1)14,151,540 (1)14,418,145 (1)15,170,420 (1)17,166,852 (1)17,521,167 (1)18,847,519 (1)19,655,000 (1)20,031,602 (1)20,216,029 (1)22,224,282 (1)22,489,126 (1)24,000,000 (1)24,745,000 (1)26,657,437 (1)28,814,878 (1)30,987,821 (1)31,500,000 (1)31,964,956 (1)32,684,503 (1)33,702,731 (1)34,881,007 (1)35,039,451 (1)36,604,681 (1)36,828,330 (1)45,905,417 (1)46,118,793 (1)47,400,000 (1)51,767,437 (1)54,200,000 (1)63,419,000 (1)67,462,121 (1)86,092,168 (1)92,417,681 (1)109,139,000 (1)116,452,000 (1)138,000,000 (1)242,747,130 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 19São Tomé and PríncipeCountry or Jurisdiction1 entrySaudi ArabiaCountry or Jurisdiction1 entrySenegalCountry or Jurisdiction1 entrySeychellesCountry or Jurisdiction1 entrySierra LeoneCountry or Jurisdiction1 entrySomaliaCountry or Jurisdiction1 entrySouth AfricaCountry or Jurisdiction1 entrySouth SudanCountry or Jurisdiction2 entriesSudanCountry or Jurisdiction1 entrySyriaCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryTanzaniaCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryTogoCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryTunisiaCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryTurkeyCountry or Jurisdiction2 entriesUgandaCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryUnited Arab EmiratesCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryYemenCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryZambiaCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryZimbabweCountry or Jurisdiction1 entryShowing 51 to 69 of 69, page 2 of 2.← Previous12Sources1.
