QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER( for patriots only)



·        What are the colours of our flag?
·        What is the significance of the colours of the flag?
·        Mention and explain two important articles in the 1992 Constitution.
·        What is the Constitution?
·        Can the Constitution be changed?
·        What do we call a change to the Constitution?
·        How many changes or amendments are there to the Constitution?
·        How many branches are there in our government?
·        What are the three branches of our government?
·        What is the legislative branch of our government?
·        Who is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?
·        Who said,
·        ‘the independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is linked with the total liberation of Africa’
·        "Common territory, language and culture may in fact be present in a nation, but the existence of a nation does not necessarily imply the presence of all three. Common territory and language alone may form the basis of a nation. Similarly, common territory plus common culture may be the basis. In some cases, only one of the three applies. A state may exist on a multi-national basis. The community of economic life is the major feature within a nation, and it is the economy which holds together the people living in a territory. It is on this basis that the new Africans recognise themselves as potentially one nation, whose domination is the entire African continent."
·        "In the very early days of the Christian era, long before England had assumed any importance, long even before her people had united into a nation, our ancestors had attained a great empire, which lasted until the eleventh century, when it fell before the attacks of the Moors of the North. At its height that empire stretched from Timbuktu to Bamako, and even as far as to the Atlantic. It is said that lawyers and scholars were much respected in that empire and that the inhabitants of Ghana wore garments of wool, cotton, silk and velvet. There was trade in copper, gold and textile fabrics, and jewels and weapons of gold and silver were carried."
·        "We shall measure our progress by the improvement in the health of our people; by the number of children in school, and by the quality of their education; by the availability of water and electricity in our towns and villages, and by the happiness which our people take in being able to manage their own affairs. The welfare of our people is our chief pride, and it is by this that my Government will ask to be judged."
·        ‘if you educate a man you educate a person, if you educate a woman, you educate a whole nation.’
·        ‘We are not incapable of supporting our own’
·        ‘Education, particularly higher education, will take Africa into the mainstream of globalization.’
·        ‘Ours is not a poor country and even though we are now a poor people, there should be no room for the despondency that has settled on large sections of the population.’
·        How many terms can the President serve?
·        According to the Constitution, a person must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible to become President. Name one of these requirements.
·        Who selects the Supreme Court justice?
·        Who is the Commander in Chief of the Ghana military?
