Barbados Constitution

The Barbados Constitution is the fundamental legal framework that establishes how the country is governed. It officially defines Barbados as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with the British monarch as head of state. The Constitution sets out the structure of government, outlines rights and freedoms for citizens, and details the powers and responsibilities of different branches, including Parliament, the Prime Minister, and the courts. It also provides protection for fundamental rights, such as freedom of speech and equality, ensuring the rule of law and democratic governance are maintained in Barbados.
