The Seychelles constitutional conference, 1975: n.a., 18p, Cmnd. 6042, London, HMSO, 1975. (Perhaps partially due to its complex demographics and
mixed legal system, reflecting its history as a former French colony, the Seychelles’ path to independence involved successive constitutional conferences
in 1970, 1975 and 1976. Following the third conference, the islands achieved independence within the Commonwealth as the Republic of Seychelles at
midnight of 28/29 June 1976. The first constitution set up a parliamentary form of government, with a Seychellois serving as head of state. A coup of 5
June 1977 replaced that government with a presidential system under the coup leader, F.A, René. A new constitution entrenching the René presidency,
and establishing Seychelles as a one-party socialist state became effective on 5 June 1979. In July of 1993, after peaceful elections supervised by
Commonwealth representatives, a third constitution came into force that provided for multi-party elections, a president as head of state, a Council of
Ministers, a National Assembly, and a Public Service Commission.)
