question: The Grand Lodge of the Republic of Liberia is based on a branch of North American Freemasonry founded on what date?
answer: September 29, 1784
context: Title: Freemasonry in Malta
  Passage: Freemasonry in Malta has a lengthy history dating from the eighteenth century.  The main masonic influences (and external supervision) have been from the United Grand Lodge of England, the Grand Lodge of Scotland, the Grand Lodge of Ireland, and a now extinct French Grand Lodge.  Today regular Freemasonry in the country is under the sovereign jurisdiction of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Malta, formed in 2004 whilst continental Freemasonry in country is under the sovereign jurisdiction of Grand Lodge of Malta whose members broke away from the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Malta in 2009. The Grand Lodge of Malta is recognized by several continental Masonic bodies including the Grand Orient de France
  Title: Grand Lodge of All England
  Passage: The Grand Lodge of All England "Meeting since Time Immemorial in the City of York" was a body of Freemasons which existed intermittently during the Eighteenth Century, mainly based in the City of York.  It does not appear to have been a regulatory body in the usual manner of a masonic Grand Lodge, and as such is seen as a "Mother Lodge" like Kilwinning in Scotland.  It met to create Freemasons, and as such enabled the foundation of new lodges.  For much of its career, it was the only lodge in its own jurisdiction, but even with dependent lodges it continued to function mainly as an ordinary lodge of Freemasons.  Having existed since at least 1705 as the "Ancient Society of Freemasons in the City of York", it was in 1725, possibly in response to the expansion of the new Grand Lodge in London, that they styled themselves the "Grand Lodge of All England Meeting at York".  Activity ground to a halt some time in the 1730s, but was revived with renewed vigour in 1761.  It was during this second period of activity that part of the Lodge of Antiquity, having quit the Grand Lodge of England in London, allied themselves with their Northern brethren and became, between 1779 and 1789, the "Grand Lodge of All England South of the River Trent".  Shortly after Antiquity's re-absorption into the London Grand Lodge she had founded, the Grand Lodge at York ceased to function again, this time for good.
  Title: Masonic lodge
  Passage: A Masonic lodge, often termed a private lodge or constituent lodge, is the basic organisational unit of Freemasonry.  It is also commonly, but erroneously, used as a term for a building in which such a unit meets.  Every new lodge must be warranted or chartered by a Grand Lodge, but is subject to its direction only in enforcing the published constitution of the jurisdiction.  By exception the three surviving lodges that formed the world's first known grand lodge in London (now merged into the United Grand Lodge of England) have the unique privilege to operate as "time immemorial", i.e., without such warrant; only one other lodge operates without a warrant – the Grand Stewards' Lodge in London, although it is not also entitled to the "time immemorial" title.  A Freemason is generally entitled to visit any Lodge in any jurisdiction (i.e., under any Grand Lodge) in amity with his own.  In some jurisdictions this privilege is restricted to Master Masons (that is, Freemasons who have attained the Order's third degree).  He is first usually required to check, and certify, the regularity of the relationship of the Lodge – and be able to satisfy that Lodge of his regularity of membership.  Freemasons gather together as a Lodge to work the three basic Degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason.
  Title: Masonic Order of Liberia
  Passage: The Grand Lodge of the Republic of Liberia is a fraternal organization based on the principles of Prince Hall Freemasonry.  Prior to 1980, its membership tended to consist of Americo-Liberians and it was influential within the ruling True Whig party from its founding until the coup of Samuel Doe in 1980, when much of its senior leadership was killed and the new military regime banned masonic activities in the country.
  Title: Prince Hall Freemasonry
  Passage: Prince Hall Freemasonry is a branch of North American Freemasonry founded by Prince Hall on September 29, 1784 and composed predominantly of African Americans.  There are two main branches of Prince Hall Freemasonry: the independent State Prince Hall Grand Lodges, most of which are recognized by Regular Masonic jurisdictions and those under the jurisdiction of the National Grand Lodge.
  Title: Premier Grand Lodge of England
  Passage: The Premier Grand Lodge of England was founded on 24 June 1717 as the Grand Lodge of London and Westminster, later calling itself the Grand Lodge of England.  Convention calls it the Premier Grand Lodge of England to distinguish it from the "Most Ancient and Honourable Society of Free and Accepted Masons according to the Old Constitutions", more usually referred to as the Ancient Grand Lodge of England, and the "Grand Lodge of All England Meeting at York".  It existed until 1813 when it united with the Ancient Grand Lodge of England to create the United Grand Lodge of England.  It was the first Masonic Grand Lodge to be created.
