The constitution, which came into effect in 2009, provides for internal autonomy under a governor, a cabinet, and a Legislative Assembly. The British monarch, represented by the governor, is head of state. The head of government is the premier, appointed by the governor to serve no more than two consecutive four-year terms. The governor is responsible for foreign affairs, defense, internal security, and the police. A deputy governor, who must be Caymanian, assists the governor and heads the civil service. The governor leads the cabinet, which includes the premier, six other members appointed by the governor, and two nonvoting members: the deputy governor and the attorney general. The Legislative Assembly consists of 15 elected members and 3 nonelected members from the cabinet. | The constitution, which came into effect in 2009, provides for internal autonomy under a governor, a cabinet, and a Legislative Assembly.
