Excerpt from The Constitution of Canada: An Introduction to Its Development and Law
In 1791, when Canada received representative institutions such as already existed in 'nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the gift was forced by the unforeseen advent of the American Loyalists; and while it. Conferred on french-canadians a primary education in political freedom, it withheld the fully developed scheme of responsible government. As a matter Of fact, the recognition Of what appears nowadays to be the necessary corollary Of representative government lay outside the range Of contemporary political thought. When responsible government in the modern sense Of the term came into practice in 1849, it was not before the colonial Office and the imperial government had spent many a bad quarter of an hour over a tantalizing problem Of sovereignty, and the Canadians had learned in the hard school of experience, in which rebellions played a part, something of the duties which are the spiritual values of legal forms or constitutional conventions. Indeed, in Canada legal form curtailed the growth of the constitutional convention of cabinet government. The fact that the Act Of Union Of 1840 gave to Canada East and to Canada West equal representation, irrespective of population, in the united legislature which that Act set up, robbed Lord Elgin's experi ment in 1849 of the full and complete implication of self government. With the coming of federation in 1867, Canada at last Obtained the widest application Of representative and responsible institutions.
