What is the foundational constitutional instrument of Sint Maarten?
The Staatsregeling van Sint Maarten (Constitution of Sint Maarten) is the country's foundational constitutional instrument. It entered into force on 10 October 2010, when Sint Maarten became an autonomous constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and was promulgated in the Afkondigingsblad van Sint Maarten (AB 2010).

Why Lawstronaut for Sint Maarten legal research
Sint Maarten legal information is spread across the Landscourant and the Afkondigingsblad, government ministries, the Central Bank, sector regulators, and the courts. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Sint Maarten legal coverage
Sint Maarten is a civil-law jurisdiction and an autonomous constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, formed on 10 October 2010 with the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles. Its legal system follows the Dutch civil-law tradition, with a Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and Criminal Code modelled on Netherlands Antillean and Dutch law. Primary legislation takes the form of national ordinances (landsverordeningen) enacted by the Estates of Sint Maarten and promulgated in the Afkondigingsblad and the Landscourant. Regulatory policy sits with ministries and statutory bodies, including the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten and the Bureau Telecommunication and Post. Justice is administered by the Court of First Instance and the Common Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, with final cassation to the Supreme Court of the Netherlands. Legislation is published in Dutch, while English is widely used in government, the courts, and commerce.
Sint Maarten's legal framework is still consolidating since its 2010 constitutional settlement: post-Hurricane Irma reconstruction and integrity legislation, financial-sector supervision reforms under the CBCS, and ongoing modernization of company and civil law mean provisions change and citations to superseded ordinances can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Sint Maarten legal research answer correct today.
