THE LATEST AVAILABLE DATA
By mere definition, a political system in which government power and responsibility is divided between a federal legislature and a number of state or provincial legislatures is called Federalism.
Canada has this form of government and has jurisdiction over the entire nation. Each provincial government has rule over particular portions of the population. Unification was desired, particularly by commercial interests as a means of facilitating economic growth, territorial expansion, and military defence.
Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, was not enthusiastic about federalism and would have preferred a unitary state in which provinces get their authority from the central government and are subordinate. The central or national government have access to a predominant share of revenue from taxation, and that it is entitled to make conditional grants to provincial governments even in relation to matters not strictly within its dominion. Macdonald was also a lawyer and a businessman. He passed away in 1891.
As per the Constitution Acts of 1867 and 1982, Canada is a constitutional monarchy, wherein the role of the reigning sovereign is both legal and practical, but not political, that its executive authority is vested formally in the Queen.
Every act of government is carried out in the name of the Crown, but the power for those acts flows from the Canadian people. The Crown is thus the foundation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of my government.
