What year marks the establishment of the first written constitution in the Cayman Islands?

The first written constitution in the Cayman Islands was established in 1959. This constitution was significant because it marked a pivotal moment in the political development of the islands, transitioning from a system of governance based solely on British colonial authority to one that incorporated elements of self-governance. The 1959 constitution introduced a legislative council and established a framework for local governance, allowing Caymanians to have a greater role in their political affairs. It represented an important step towards democratic governance and laid the groundwork for future constitutional changes in the islands. The subsequent years would see further evolution in the political landscape, but 1959 remains a landmark year in the history of the Cayman Islands.
