Liberia: Stop the Madness – Uphold Constitutional Order
Apr 28, 2025
The Constitutional Framework of Liberia
Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Liberian Constitution declares: “Liberia is a unitary sovereign state divided into counties for administrative purposes.” This foundational principle establishes a Republic built on three co-equal branches Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary; each designed to uphold democracy through separation of powers and checks and balances.

The Legislative Branch crafts laws, represents the people, and oversees government actions.
The Executive Branch, led by the President, enforces laws and steers national policy.
The Judiciary, headed by the Supreme Court, interprets laws and safeguards constitutional rights.
This balance ensures stability, but when one branch falters, the others must act decisively to preserve democracy.
The Judiciary: Guardian of the Rule of Law
The judiciary serves as the cornerstone of justice by interpreting laws, invalidating unconstitutional statutes, and safeguarding citizens’ rights. An independent and impartial Judiciary fosters public trust, attracts foreign investment, and ensures sustainable national development.
