Yes, Ghana, or the Republic of Ghana, is a sovereign state. The country, on West Africa's Gulf of Guinea, is a sovereign unitary presidential constitutional democracy. A sovereign state is defined as a state, or country, which has defined borders inside of which people live and that has its own government that makes laws for these people that the people have to follow; in addition, sovereign states have the power to form diplomatic relationships with other sovereign states. Ghana meets this definition; thus, it is a sovereign state. In 1957, Ghana, formerly known as the Gold Coast, became the first sub-Saharan country in colonial Africa to gain its independence from the United Kingdom. The country has its own president and government, its own constitution, and its own legal system. One reason that some question whether Ghana is a sovereign state is that the country relies significantly on outside financial assistance; however, it is still considered to be one of the most stable countries in West Africa.
