What was the lytteton constitution in 1954?

The Lyttelton Constitution, introduced in 1954 in British Guiana (now Guyana), aimed to establish a more autonomous government with a degree of self-rule while still under British colonial oversight. It provided for a legislature with elected representatives and an executive council, but key powers, especially in areas like defense and foreign affairs, remained with the British Governor. The constitution was intended to address growing demands for self-governance but ultimately faced criticism for not granting sufficient independence, leading to political tensions and unrest in the country.
