Book Overview

The British North America Act 1867 is a historical document that outlines the framework for the Canadian Confederation. Written by an anonymous author, the book provides a detailed account of the political and legal processes that led to the creation of the Canadian federation. It explores the various debates and negotiations that took place between the British government and the leaders of the Canadian provinces, and examines the key provisions of the Act, including the division of powers between the federal and provincial governments, the establishment of a bicameral parliament, and the protection of minority rights. The book also offers insights into the social and cultural context of the time, shedding light on the attitudes and beliefs of the people who played a role in shaping Canada's political landscape. With its meticulous research and engaging style, The British North America Act 1867 is an essential read for anyone interested in Canadian history, politics, and law.The Privileges, Immunities, and Powers to be held, enjoyed, and exercised by the Senate and by the House of Commons and by the Members thereof respectively shall be such as are from Time to Time defined by Act of the Parliament of Canada, but so that the same shall never exceed those at the passing of this Act held, enjoyed, and exercised by the Commons House of Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and by the Members thereof.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
