Ireland
the Irish Free State was established in 1922. Ireland developed its constitution and became a sovereign, free independent, democratic state in 1937. In 1949 the Irish people decided to end Commonwealth affliation with Britain.
    At the Imperial Conference of 1926, the Free State joined with other dominions to obtain the Balfour Report.(*), which stated that the British government would not legislate for the dominions or nullify acts passed by their own legislatures. Once this was confirmed by the Statute of Westminster in 1931, Ireland had the power to legislate away its relationship with Britain.
