In an opposing view, Anthony M. Jones said he supports President Weah’s announcement that restrictions and citizenship for non-Negroes have outlived their usefulness. Dominic agreed with President Weah but James did not. “These restrictions include the limitation of citizenship only to black people, the limitation of property ownership exclusively to citizens, and the non-allowance of dual citizenship. The framers of the 1847 Constitution may have had every reason and justification to include these restrictions in that historic document. President Weah expressed his willingness to grant non-Negros citizenship through a referendum that will be submitted as an additional proposal to the seven accepted among the propositions that were submitted to the Constitution Review Committee last year.
