Galleryyuhself - forty seven years ago Trinidad and Tobago made a bold move. Happy Republic Day.

...........................................

from the National Archives of Trinidad and Tobago.

#OnThisDay in 1976, Trinidad and Tobago had already become a Republic. This new status was declared on August 1st 1976, when the last Governor-General Sir Ellis Clarke was sworn in as the first President of Trinidad and Tobago. The holiday is commemorated on September 24th because it was on this day in 1976 that the first Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago met under the new Republican Constitution.

So what changed? When Trinidad and Tobago became independent in 1962, it was still part of the British monarchy—meaning that between 1962 and 1976, Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II was the Queen of Trinidad and Tobago. The monarch’s constitutional roles were delegated by the Governor-General, who was Sir Solomon Hochoy from 1962 to 1972. In 1972, Sir Ellis Clarke succeeded Sir Solomon Hochoy as Governor-General.

After over a decade as an Independent nation, it was decided that Trinidad and Tobago should become a Republic with a Head of State elected solely by its citizens. In order to bring about these changes, a Constitution Commission was formed in 1971.

The Commission held meetings around Trinidad and Tobago, and consolidated their findings and recommendations for constitutional reform into a report that was submitted to the Governor-General, Sir Ellis Clarke, in 1974. A Constitution was then written to replace the Order in Council of the Queen and in 1976, the Constitution of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Act of 1976 was passed.

If you are interested in learning more about our country’s path to becoming a Republic, you can check out our Exhibition, “The Road to Nationhood: Crown Colony Government to Republicanism.” The newspaper clippings in this Exhibition are courtesy the Trinidad Guardian and the Trinidad Express Newspapers.
