Cameroon became independent in 1960 and underwent the reunification process in 1961 following its appointment between England and France in 1914. First constitution replaced in 1961. Second constitution made Cameroon a Federal State composed of 2 states - reversed in 1972 was made Unitary State with a third Constitution. This raises the question as to whether the constitution-making process may be a continuous exercise. Therefore this paper aims at uncovering the dynamics of the frequent constitutional amendments in Cameroon within the broader African context.
