A similar relationship once existed between the United Kingdom and its former colonies of Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Vincent in the Caribbean, under the Associated Statehood Act 1967. Under this arrangement, each State had full control over its Constitution, although all of them have since been granted full independence. See alsoExternal linksWhat does Associated state mean ?
