Consequences of Act of Union Chapter 4 Notes #4

Recap... Act of Union was the 2nd constitution during the timeframe studied in this chapter. It unified Upper Canada and Lower Canada. 1 Legislative Assembly for all of Canada (42 members from each West and East)

French Canadiens were given less power and rights (assimilation) French Canadiens were given less power and rights (assimilation). Brought on a lot of fear and anger. Some British colonists were not happy with changes either.

Political Changes Reformers from both sides (English and French) joined together to form a political alliance. both groups were unhappy and wanted change

Louis Hippolyte Lafontaine The leaders: Louis Hippolyte Lafontaine leader of the French Canadiens Reformers Robert Baldwin leader of the English Canadian Reformers

Robert Baldwin Louis Hippolyte Lafontaine

Together they fought to obtain a responsible government. Lafontaine also wanted to protect French Canadiens rights

Economic Changes Since early 19th century, Great Britain practices protectionism. protectionism = economic policy that is put in place to protect its country and colonies from foreign exchange

Free trade This freedom to buy and trade from anyone is good for individuals but bad for businesses. (more competition)

This meant that Canadian goods and materials had to compete with the resl of the world. (and shipping costs was a disadvantage)

Responsible Government The end of protectionism meant that Canada: had to take charge of their own economic affairs was given more political autonomy

Canada had more of a say on internal affairs Great Britain still controlled external affairs Note… still not a full democratic system

1948: Reform alliance won a majority of seats in election Responsible Government put in place see document 55 on page 42

Difference: Executive Council now were elected by people
