- [Overview of Legislature](https://parliament.ms/overview-of-legislature/): Overview of Montserrat’s Legislature A Brief Overview of the Legislature in Montserrat from 1951 to Present Universal Adult Suffrage in Montserrat was introduced in 1951, by means of letters patent. This led to the introduction of the Legislative Council where for the first time the majority comprised elected members. This made way for W H Bramble and his group of non-plantocracy members to be elected into the Legislative Council in 1952. Further amendments to the Letters Patent in 1959 allowed for a Ministerial system of government, which gave a greater level of local self-government. W H Bramble then emerged as […]
- [Understanding Montserrat’s Legislature](https://parliament.ms/understanding-montserrats-legislature/): The Legislature and the Functions Thereof The Doctrine of Separation of powers One of the characteristics of many legal systems is the doctrine of separation of powers which provides that the functions of the three arms of government should be carried out by separate bodies of people. This separation of the arms of government enables a check on the concentration of power in the hands of a few. The Legislature is one of these arms. Essentially, the Legislature is the assembly of elected representatives of the people and as such it represents the national public opinion and power of the people. […]
- [History of Parliament](https://parliament.ms/history-of-parliament/): History of Montserrat’s Parliament History of Montserrat’s Parliament Montserrat is said to have been discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, but it was not until 1625 that Charles I of England issued letters patent for its settlement. The letters patent provided the means by which some form of Government could be set up in Montserrat. The early form of governance which these letters patent allowed, is far different from what exists today.   Reuben T Meade, former Premier of Montserrat, presented a paper to The C24 UN Decolonisation Committee in Quito, Ecuador which provides a concise and very useful outline of […]
