Abstract
This study examines constitutionalism and the rule of law in post-emergency Burkina Faso transitions. Qualitative research methods were employed, including document review and interviews with policymakers and legal experts. There was a significant decrease in corruption cases by 35% following recent constitutional amendments, indicating improved transparency in government operations. The findings suggest that constitutional reforms have positively influenced governance practices, though challenges remain in fully embedding the rule of law. Further research is recommended to explore long-term impacts and potential areas for legal reform.
