Articles 73 or 74?

A ssociation erdimornaise for R V P ERITAGE RECONSTRUCTION.

Dear Verdimornaises,

Ladies Verdimornais,

Hello

We can safely say that the West Indies have suffered for three centuries several institutional reforms without improving the lives of West constructively.

There are many causes as social, cultural, economic and even cyclical. This situation is exacerbated by an aging of elites who can not harmonize the ancient culture with the obligations and requirements of modern life. When one adds to this the current financial crisis born of a moral degeneration is well understood the distress of our countrymen.

Small walk in the paths of our local institutions in the three centuries:

1624-1642 - Company chartered under Richelieu - slavery - Operations.

1635 - The French occupy Martinique. On February 12, 1635 the Company Islands American government and administers purposes mercantilist trade.

1635-1685 - Development of the infamous Black Code, who labeled the negroes among the furniture of the property. In other words, they were not regarded as human beings.

1685 - Promulgation of the Code Black.

The administration will be entrusted to the Lords later-owners then attached to the Crown in 1674.

^17th and ^18th century - The royal power, but affirmed the centrality of unifying the monarchy is inadequate to countries as remote and inhuman ways of life. There is already talk of independence for directors.

Soon the military institutions become ubiquitous for the authority and the proper conduct of business and commercial agricultural industry but not human.

1789 - France is in turmoil - The revolution is unleashed - The administration of Martinique is entrusted to a governor and an intendant assisted by a Court of Justice and a Supreme Council or Superior.

August 30, 1789 - Slave Revolt in Saint-Pierre.

26 to 28 October 1793 - Erection of Martinique in the department divided into four districts.

February 1794 - Decree abolishing slavery

March 23, 1794 - Martinique came under British rule, slavery continues.

1794-1802 - British Occupation - Food - Institutions colonial orders.

1804-1814 - The Empire

1833-1837 - The colonial institutions - Reforms.

March 4, 1848 - Decree abolishing slavery.

1852-1870 - Second Empire. The senatusconsulta.

1885 - The Republican institutions.

July 10, 1940 - Constitutional Act No. 1: Marshal Petain becomes head of the French State.

The Republic of Martinique and fades bows to the Constitutional Acts: measures relating to the municipal government, the sessions of the General Council, an institution of local councils ...

Constitution of 1946. France takes over the republican institutions and Martinique as well.

Departmentalizing / Assimilation. The Act of March 19, 1946 passed unanimously by the National Constituent Assembly establishes the French departments: Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Reunion.

Autonomy / August 1955 The Communist Party had asked the departmentalization (Bissol, Cesaire), facing new obstacles presented themselves not hesitate to seek autonomy, soon joined by the Progressive Party (First Convention supporters of Autonomy August 1971 - Red Cliff).

This walk is a little insight, inconstancy, instability of the institutional reforms being implemented in Martinique until today.

In fact, what is autonomy?

For the major advantage of Martinique (its) it is a dangerous term to see yours. Yet autonomy is not particularly political but a legal term.

You can have as much autonomy as they want because the essence lies in the skills that will be given by the state, the Congress or the Assemblies. When a department is like Martinique we do not take the autonomy we demand through the skills, attributes that would ensure. And the French government after deliberations in the meetings that accepts or denies or limits the form and the substance of the duties that may wish to grant, according to the Constitution and always reserving a right of inspection control or even suppression on skills.

The Act of March 19, 1946 was erected in Martinique in the French department at the request of parliamentarians from Martinique and nobody can abrogate it, delete it without the will of the people of Martinique. A point is all.

Rest assured, the articles of the Constitution are securely locked and the government yesterday. At present the majority of the population Martinique knows what she wants: its place and its place in the French and European Union to be realized.

Sections 73 and 74 have been inserted, introduced in the Constitution to allow a better adaptation of the law according to the needs of Martinique.

The portion of section 73 to Article 74 is reversible. You can go from 73-74 and if that does not suit you to come back at 73.

But we can not children and teenagers are more and if we believe we adults think of taking the necessary time and make the correct choice.

At the institutional point of view of Article 74 has an advantage: it allows us to move more quickly and correctly. But all the advantages resulting disadvantages.

In short it will never be the article to be at fault but those who will administer it, practice it.

And here we Martinique, 73 or 74, we have a great job to do: improve ourselves.

We sometimes miss an analytical mind to new situations, concern for integrity to guide us and practice for technological change and cultural entity.

Until we can be working on standards already exceeded both political and institutional.

Retraining, redeployment, retraining will be necessary and sufficient to that we must abandon.

We require not one but a new Martinique Martinique news must hinge between Europe and America and so, everything has to redo or revise education, instruction, training, culture, research in all areas of the humanities and social .

Everything is possible. New generations are already knocking at our doors. They lack the place they deserve and this sense of duty, will, this fearlessness that has allowed our ancestors to cross the tides of history through, and allow us to be who we are, beings capable of understanding and acting.

In summary, the real problem that concerns us is not in sections 73 or 74 but in the choice of a single assembly, so saving energy in the validity, the power of the skills we need to finally take enable the empowerment of the people of Martinique, its evolution after three centuries of slavery and subjugation.

Soon.
