This constitution was adopted before the advent of the independent Ivorian State, and was similar to the political system of France, which established the principle of a flexible separation between legislative and executive powers.

While the separation of the powers is an essential condition for the realization of the rule of law, it is necessary to note that all States in the modern world do not have the same uniform model of powers separation.

This legal system provides all the rules establishing the status of public and private persons, and defining the relationships between public and private persons.

It is therefore important here to present the organization and the functioning rules of Côte d’Ivoire’s legal system as well as the corpus of texts currently in use in Côte d’Ivoire’s legal order.

Located in Western Africa, Côte d’Ivoire (CI) was discovered in 1888 during a Treich-Lapleine exploration for a trade company located in La Rochelle.Despite the fact that CI has been autonomous and sovereign since its independence, the effects of colonial conquest have not completely disappeared.For more than half a century, the Ivorian state was administrated by the French state, such that CI has kept much of the same functioning principles as the French state.This first platform – Women’s Advancement Deeply – will cover the pursuit of economic equality for women, from securing gender-equal access to financial services, to fighting for property rights and closing the pay gap.We’ll also be working to launch other dedicated platforms in this space, and we are currently exploring themes of maternal, sexual and reproductive health, as well as gender-based violence.In modern and legal terms, independence created the state of Côte d’Ivoire.The consequence of this event was the establishment of the legal status of the Ivorian State through a constitution which set out the procedures for the creation of laws and the exercise of power and authority over the independent territory.The country thus changed from being an overseas territory to a member of the French Community, a status which allowed the forthcoming country to set up the former territorial Assembly as a constituent Assembly.It is this constituent Assembly that adopted, on March 26, 1959, the Constitution of Côte d'Ivoire which set up the territorial Assembly as a legislative Assembly.The population of Côte d’Ivoire is composed of sixty ethnic groups and many dialects connected to broader ethnic communities.The sixty ethnic groups are from diverse origins, primarily Mande, Voltaique or Gur, Akan and Krou.Along with the constitution, CI also sought to establish a set of ideals which would characterize the nation as a whole.The indicated ideal is indicated, on one hand, by the triptych of the Ivorian motto: “union-discipline-travail,” and on the other by the adoption of the philosophical principle of the society’s organization, which is the government of people by the people, and the choice of democracy, solidarity, and development.322,462 sq.The country became a French protectorate in 1889, and was restructured into a colony in 1893.In 1899, the territory was entered into the French western African federation (AOF).
