By Anonymous

Book Overview

The British North America Act 1867 is a historical document that outlines the formation of the Dominion of Canada as a confederation of four provinces: Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. The act was passed by the British Parliament and established the framework for the Canadian government, including the division of powers between the federal and provincial levels, the creation of a bicameral parliament, and the appointment of a governor-general to represent the British monarch. The book provides a detailed analysis of the act and its significance in Canadian history, including its impact on the country's political, social, and economic development. The author, Anonymous, offers a comprehensive overview of the act's provisions and its legacy, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in Canadian history and politics.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.
