When Trinidad and Tobago became a republic in 1976, it transitioned from a constitutional monarchy to a system where the President serves as the head of state, while the Prime Minister remains the head of government. This change involved the removal of the British monarch as the ceremonial figurehead, and the President was established as an elected official, representing the unity of the nation. The new constitution also reinforced the principles of democracy and sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of citizen participation in governance. Overall, the shift reinforced national identity and independence from colonial ties.
