When did the Cayman Islands receive its first written constitution?

The first written constitution of the Cayman Islands was established on 4th July 1959. This constitution was significant because it marked a shift in governance for the islands, transitioning from a system that relied heavily on British colonial administration to one that allowed for a degree of local self-governance. The 1959 constitution implemented a legislative council, granting the Caymanian people more representation and input in their governance. This was an important step in the political evolution of the islands, as it set the groundwork for subsequent constitutional developments and further autonomy in the years that followed.
