Episode Synopsis

Barbados's transition to a parliamentary republic on November 30, 2021, marked a significant constitutional milestone, severing colonial ties with the British monarchy and installing a Barbadian Head of State.1 This pivotal act served as a catalyst for a broader, more comprehensive constitutional reform process. The government initiated this process to thoroughly review and reshape the nation's supreme law, aiming to align it with the contemporary realities and future aspirations of a 21st-century sovereign republic.
