The 1947 Dutch Constitution
Talk of constitutional reform was already commonplace during the government's exile in London; however, when the government was forced into further exile in the Caribbean, there was no choice; the constitution was reformed.
The new Constitution of 1947 is not too different from the previous ones in its underpinnings; it espouses the fundamental values of freedom and democracy, under a constitutional monarchy. However, it is different in one major thing: it provides ample autonomy to the various remaining Caribbean colonies, which have become constituent democracies within the democracy that is the exiled Kingdom of the Netherlands.
