St. Maarten established its Parliament on October 10, 2010, when the island became a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
This transition, part of the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, reshaped the political framework for several Caribbean islands.
Once part of a larger political federation, St. Maarten gained its own legislative body, assuming full control over its internal affairs.
A significant milestone toward self-governance.
Before this change, St. Maarten operated under the Netherlands Antilles, a federation that included Curaçao, Bonaire, Saba, and St. Eustatius.

Curaçao’s central government often made policy decisions for the entire group.
Since gaining its own Parliament, St. Maarten has taken responsibility for its lawmaking, governance, and the representation of its people.
The island’s political system has faced frequent government changes and coalition challenges.
