equired, as before, hostile to the Roman
Catholic Church--beginning of religious liberty

(_e_) Legislative Council had no control of taxation

IV. 1791 to 1841--Constitutional Act to Act of Union Provisions of
Constitutional Act:

1. Upper and Lower Canada divided, because French and British could
not agree on many points.

2. Each Province had a Governor, a Legislative Council, a
Legislative Assembly, and an Executive Council. The Legislative
Council was composed of the highest officials, appointed
practically for life, and responsible to no one. Many of these were
also members of the Executive Council. The Legislative Assembly was
elected and was yet without control of the whole revenue, as the
Home Government still collected "all duties regulating colonial
navigation and commerce."

3. The Clergy Reserves were established; later to become a bone of
contention.

V. 1841 to 1867--Act of Union to British North America Act.

The demands of the people for responsible government, that is, for
control of the Executive and of taxation, became so insistent that the
Act of Union was passed, following Lord Durham's report on the Rebellion
of 1837.

Provisions of the Act of Union:

1. Legislative Council appointed (20 members)

2. Legislative Assembly elected (42 from each Province, later 65
from each)

3. Executive Council selected from both Houses

4. A permanent Civil List of L75,000 was granted

5. The Legislative Assembly controlled the rest of the revenue.
Money bills were to originate with the Government. This was really
Responsible Government, as it was developed under Elgin.

VI. 1867 to the present:

The British North America Act was the statement of a complete victory of
the people for Responsible Government. The Executive Council (Cabinet)
is wholly responsible to Parliament, in which the members of the
Executive must have seats; the raising and the spending of revenue is
wholly in the hands of the people's representatives. For a clear summary
of the concessions won by Canadians, see Bourinot, _How Canada is
Governed_, page 34; see also _Ontario Public School History of Canada_,
pp. 267 et seq.
