The Rendel Constitution was significant in Singapore's political scene in the 1950s as it granted Singapore limited self-government and allowed the election of a Legislative Assembly. This provided Singaporeans with more say over local affairs and was a step towards full internal self-government. However, the British still maintained control over areas such as foreign affairs and defense.
