PARLIAMENTARY SOVEREIGNTY VERSUS CONSTITUTIONAL SUPREMACY: A PERSPECTIVE ON CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN NIGERIA

Abstract

This study has largely explored the various forms of government in practice all over the world in general and Nigeria in particular. The aim of the study has been to measure how far Nigeria has come as a nation in her practice of the two most practiced forms of government in the world over. Included in this is the study of how government all over the world has evolved from being in the control of an individual, as was witnessed under a monarchy, to the government of a few, as was the case in an aristocracy or an oligarchy and finally to the government of many which was practiced in Athens, the cradle of representative governance.
