Abstract
For every country in mainland sub-Saharan Africa, I reviewed the constitution in force at independence (or, where this was not available, in the year 1965), as well as the constitution in force in 2010. This resulted in a data set with two country-years per country, the year of adoption of the independence-era constitution, and the year the current constitution was adopted. The covariates in this analysis are for the year of the constitution's adoption. I used four databases to code the constitutional protections of chiefs: Constitutions of Nations, Constitutions of the Countries of the World, the Comparative Constitutions Project, and the International Constitutional Law Database.
