What is the supreme law of Sierra Leone and when was it enacted?
The Constitution of Sierra Leone, 1991 (Act No. 6 of 1991) is the supreme law of Sierra Leone. It establishes the Republic's governance framework and fundamental human rights and was enacted by Parliament and published in the Sierra Leone Gazette; later Acts of Parliament and constitutional instruments amend it.

Why Lawstronaut for Sierra Leonean legal research
Sierra Leonean legal information is spread across the gazette, Parliament, ministries, statutory agencies, regulators, courts, and publication sources. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Sierra Leone legal coverage
Sierra Leone is a common-law jurisdiction rooted in English legal tradition, operating a mixed system in which received English common law, statutory law, and customary law sit alongside one another. Primary legislation is enacted by the unicameral Parliament of Sierra Leone and published in the Sierra Leone Gazette, while guidance and regulatory policy sit across ministries and statutory agencies such as the Bank of Sierra Leone, the National Revenue Authority, the National Telecommunications Commission, and the Anti-Corruption Commission. The court hierarchy runs from the Supreme Court at its apex through the Court of Appeal and the High Court of Justice to Magistrates' Courts, with local courts administering customary law. Legal materials are published in English, the official language.
Sierra Leonean law has moved quickly in recent years: the Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment Act, 2022 introduced a minimum quota for women in public and private leadership, the Abolition of the Death Penalty Act, 2021 removed capital punishment, and the Cyber Security and Crime Act, 2021 established a modern cybercrime framework — so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Sierra Leone legal research answer correct today.
