The Constitution of Grenada is the most important document and cornerstone of the country, laying the groundwork for how our government functions and operates, and lays out the fundamental rights guaranteed to Grenadians.
The Constitution was not an imposition on Grenada by the United Kingdom, but rather an organic document written and agreed to by Grenada’s independence leaders. Our Constitution was the result of protracted negotiations between government and opposition at Marlborough House in London during 1973, without British interference. The constitutional negotiations contained representatives from all political factions in Grenada, including Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy of the GULP, later Prime Minister Herbert Blaize of the Grenada National Party, and Bernard Coard of the New Jewel Movement. Enacted on 19 December 1973 by Queen Elizabeth II as an Order in Council, the constitution came into effect on the Eve of Grenada’s independence on 7 February 1974.
