Abstract

This article examines Uganda's path of constitutionalism and legal praxis in African transitions. No empirical results are presented; this article employs a conceptual analytical approach grounded in jurisprudence and comparative law studies. This theoretical framework underscores the critical role of judicial independence and the rule of law in ensuring effective constitutional implementation. The article recommends strengthening judicial capacity, enhancing public awareness of constitutional rights, and fostering a culture that values compliance with legal norms as essential for advancing Uganda’s path towards more robust constitutional governance.
