Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Speeches and Documents on British Colonial Policy, 1763-1917, Vol. 1 of 2 The main object of these volumes is to trace by a series of speeches and documents the growth of the system of responsible government in the British Colonies, the gradual formation of powerful federations from groups of separate and rival colonies, the development of their local autonomy, and the process by which schemes of imperial federation have been laid aside in favour of the conception of the equal partnership in the Empire of units retaining and developing their legislative and administrative independence, but firmly resolved by frequent and frank consultation to co-operate in the carrying into effect of their common ideals of freedom, justice, and peaceful economic development. For a full understanding, however, of the growth of responsible government it is necessary to examine the origin of representative government in Canada. The Royal Proclamation of 1763, had it ever come into effective operation, would have provided Canada with a constitution similar to that of the New England colonies.
