Jamaica Introduces Bill to Renounce the Monarchy

Jamaica’s Parliament set a bill in motion on Tuesday to abolish the monarchy by replacing the monarch of England with a Jamaican head of state, likely with the title of president.

The tabling of the bill marks the greatest progress made so far in our effort to reform the Constitution of Jamaica to achieve the national goals of having a Jamaican as head of state instead of the hereditary British monarch and also having our supreme law taken out from under the cloak of the imperial Order in Council and placed in proper form.
—Marlene Malahoo Forte, minister of legal and constitutional affairs

House representatives will begin debating the bill in March 2025, when it can be read for a second time.

Falling dominoes:

• At its height in 1922, the British Empire covered about a quarter of the world’s land area.
• With 458 million subjects, it ruled about a quarter of the world’s population.
• Now just 15 countries recognize King Charles iii as their head of state, with many of these states looking to distance themselves from the monarchy.
• In 2021, Barbados abolished the monarchy, setting an example that remaining Commonwealth nations, such as Jamaica, could emulate.

The Empire’s decline: The Bible prophesies that as Britain and its leaders reject the Bible, their strength as a world power will deteriorate until it dissolves into nothing. We are witnessing the downward spiral of what was once the greatest empire the world has ever known, and it is happening because of the moral decline of its people.
