The Constitution of Jamaica

The Constitution of Jamaica is the country's fundamental legal document that establishes its system of government, defines the roles of key institutions, and protects citizens' rights. It creates a parliamentary democracy with a Prime Minister as the head of government and a Governor-General representing the British Crown as the ceremonial head of state. The Constitution guarantees basic rights like freedom of speech and equality, and sets the rules for changing laws. It ensures a separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, providing a framework for governance, justice, and the rule of law in Jamaica.
