Pages : 85
Book Description
Excerpt from A Plea for the Introduction of Responsible Government: And the Representation of Capital Into the United States, as Safeguards Against Communism and Disunion If any practical English or American statesman were asked to-day to point out the chief difference between the Constitution of England and that of the United States, he would probably say that it consists in the fact that in the United States, and in each of them, the executive branch of the government is elected for a fixed term of office, and during that term is independent of the legislative branch; while in England the real executive branch of the government, to-wit: the cabinet, is elected for no fixed term, and resigns either upon an adverse vote of the House of Commons, or if it calls for a popular election to test the stability of the existing House of Commons, and is beaten at the polls, then it resigns in obedience to an adverse vote of the people. In this respect, the English executive - regarding the Queen or King, of course, as a figurehead, - is flexible, and may be changed in a day, or, at most, in a month; while the American executive is inflexible, and when once elected, can not, except by impeachment for high crimes or misdemeanors, be changed in less than four years. Our legislatures, also, are inflexible, whether they represent faithfully the will of the people or not; while the English, Canadian and Australian legislatures are more flexible, since it is in the power of the executive in each of those countries to dissolve the legislature at any moment, and test, by a new election, whether the people sustain the administration, or whether they sustain the opposition legislative majority. Thus, in England, Canada and Australia the people are permitted to vote (in all important cases over which there is sufficient difference of opinions to divide parties) upon the very question on which their legislature is to act, and in time to control its action.

In Popular Politics and Political Culture in Upper Canada, 1800-1850 Carol Wilton shows us that ordinary Canadians were much more involved in the political process than previous accounts have lead us to believe.
