What this means

  • The index files this text under article 201 of the Constitution of Ghana.
  • The passage runs to about 108 words.
  • Read plainly, it mentions assembly and association — it protects gathering together or joining a group, union or party (the words used: “Association”); it mentions police powers — it sets out what the police or other security services may do (the words used: “Police”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“The Police Council”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
