The Antiguan and Barbudan delegation in the second conference was composed of thirty politicians, lawyers, and trade unionists.
When Richard Luce laid the order before the UK Parliament, topics discussed were the possibility of an attempted rebellion in Barbuda similar to that of the Republic of Anguilla, and the disapproval of Barbudans joining the new state.
Everyone in Antigua and Barbuda is entitled to the fundamental freedoms and rights of the individual, i.e., the freedom to live as one chooses, without regard to race, national origin, political opinions or affiliations, color of skin, creed, or sexual orientation, but only in accordance with other people's rights and interests.
No one's life may be purposefully taken unless it is done so in accordance with a court's ruling about a treason or murder offense for which they have been found guilty.
[9] When the position of Governor-General is unoccupied, the incumbent is not present in Antigua and Barbuda, or he or she is otherwise unable to carry out the duties of the office, the head of state may designate another person to fill the vacancy.
[9] In and for Antigua and Barbuda, this chapter establishes a Parliament that will be made up of His Majesty, a Senate, and a House of Representatives.
[10] The House is composed, subject to the provisions of section 36, of such number of elected members as may be prescribed by or under any Act of Parliament, subject to the provisions of the Constitution, be equal to the number of constituencies from time to time established by Order under Part 4 of this Chapter.
The Governor-General may, directly or through persons reporting to him, exercise the executive authority of Antigua and Barbuda on behalf of His Majesty, subject to the provisions of this Constitution.
This chapter is significant since it specifies that the Governor-General will appoint the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda.
However, the Prime Minister will first confer with the leader of the Opposition before submitting any advice to the Governor-General for the purposes of this subsection.
