Political Information Net Encyclopedia Constitutional monarchy Encyclopedia of Political Information. A constitutional monarchy is a form of government established under a constitutional system which acknowledges an hereditary or elected monarch as head of state . As in most republics , a constitutional monarchy's executive authority is vested in the head of state. Today, constitutional monarchy is almost always combined with representative democracy , and represents a compromise between theories of sovereignty which place sovereignty in the hands of the people, and those that see a role for tradition in the theory of government. Though the king or queen may be regarded as the government's symbolic head, it is the Prime Minister , whose power derives directly or indirectly form elections, who actually governs the country. Although current constitutional monarchies are mostly representative democracies, this has not always historically been the case. There have been monarchies which have coexisted with constitutions which are fascist, as in the case of Italy and Japan or those in which the government is run as a military dictatorship, as was the case in

Printable Version Email This Page The federal system was created with the intention of combining the different advantages which result from the magnitude and the littleness of nations. Federalism is a structure of government that offers the benefits of political and economic union combined with local autonomy. Canada and the United States are both federations, with legislative powers distributed between a national government and provinces or states. However, the two systems were originally endowed with important differences and they have evolved in divergent ways. An obvious difference is that while the American Revolution resulted in independence from Great Britain, Canada's Confederation maintained close formal ties with that country. Sir John A. Macdonald, who would become Canada's first prime minister, declared during the Confederation debates that union would ensure "British laws, the British connection and British freedom." The French-Canadian leader, Sir George-Etienne Cartier, said then that the French Canadians understand that "if they have their institutions, their language and their religion intact today, it is precisely because of their adherence to the British Crown."

From the fifteenth century onwards, a number of territories came within British power at various times by settlement, conquest or cession. The administration of such colonies evolved in different ways, to reflect the different circumstances of each territory. By the British North America Act of 1867, Canada became the first self-governing Dominion within the then British Empire. The Act set out a constitution with the executive authority vested in the Sovereign, and carried on in her name by a Governor-General and Privy Council, with legislative power exercised by a Parliament of two Houses, a Senate and a House of Commons.
