divided into two parts, the first sketches the constitutional developments from the Spanish capitulation of Trinidad in 1797 to changes associated with a British crown colony. It describes in greater detail the move, after 1956, towards republicanism and the debate about the 1976 Constitution. Part I ends with a review of that debate. The second part examines some of the issues generated by the new constitution and, in particular, looks at problems associated with the
president, the Privy Council, and representation.

“The author identified critical parts of the Constitution but so little of its dynamics. Readers would have welcomed fuller discussion of the Wooding Commission, the Eric Williams, and Ellis Clarke version in which power was transferred from colony to republic over the years. Nimblett treats other subjects such as proportional representation, communicable representation, the unicameral Senate, the hybrid executive, and presidential prerogative, all of which were important issues discussed during the period. The book is an important and valuable contribution to our growing collection of studies on Trinidad and Tobago’s history and politics.” — Professor Selwyn Ryan of Sunday Express.
