(Cont’d) OBJECTIVES: Students will: Define the terms ‘Independent’ and ‘Republic’ Explain the difference between being Independent and being a Republic Explain how these changes affected the lives of Guyanese. CONCEPT A number of constitutional changes followed Independence. The country (then British Guiana) was re-named Guyana and now had a number of National Symbols. It was agreed at the Independence Conference in 1965 that two (2) years after Independence, Guyana could obtain Republican Status, once a motion was introduced in Parliament by the Prime Minister and supported by a majority of elected members. In August 1969, Mr. Burnham moved a motion in the National Assembly, the relevant motion to change the constitutional status of the country to a Republic. This status was granted and the country became a Republic on 23rd February 1970. Mr. Arthur Chung was named President of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana. INDEPENDENT GUYANA On 26th May 1966 British Guiana gained its independence. The name of the country was changed from British Guiana to Guyana.
