CONCLUSION
One is bound to ask oneself whether this survey, incomplete and imperfect though it is, reveals any general trends in constitutional development. It is, of course, obvious that over the last fifteen years there has been a progressive loosening of United Kingdom control over its overseas dependencies at an accelerating pace.
This process has culminated in no less than ten instances in complete independence —besides Ceylon, Ghana, Malaya and Nigeria there are Cyprus, Somaliland, Sierra Leone, Tanganyika, Uganda and the Southern Cameroons. As the process of emancipation proceeds, forms of government tend increasingly to resemble those with which we are familiar in this country. There is also a general tendency, with constitutional advance, to adopt institutional safeguards, such as commissions designed to insulate the public service and the judiciary against political influence. There is also a movement, though it could not be described as general, towards the inclusion in constitutions of a list of fundamental liberties protected by the courts of law; and in two cases, the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and Kenya, special bodies have been established with the object of checking discriminatory measures before they have passed into law.
