UNDERSTANDING THE CONSTITUTION IN THE AFRICAN CONTEXT

In the lecture notes of Professor Yan Vansina an anthropologist former professor of the Lovanium University currently University of Kinshasa he mentioned that the principle of the separation of powers in an African State contains five powers among which the Information and the Support in addition to three others quoted by Montesquieu. On my part I brought the reference to the African Palaver a highly democratic institution whose modernization in the current state context is more scientific for order and justice to characterize all political relations. Thus on the one hand the Information must be composed of scientific research and the press and on the other hand the Support composed of the population personified by the Head of State in a regime that is neither parliamentary nor presidential but arbitral. It is a question of universally rounding off the constitutional right by referendum as it was the case in the United States of America during the Convention of Philadelphia in 1787.
