Presentation transcript:

MacLennan-Buchanan1 Canadian Democracy Canada has both state and political institutions. State institutions are related closely to the Constitution and federalism. Political institutions structure democratic expression within states: citizen behaviour. Canada rejected presidential model in U.S. We follow British parliamentary government. (two houses, provincial legislatures) We are a constitutional monarchy.

MacLennan-Buchanan2 Canada is a federation The Constitution describes a federal system: power and authority to govern is shared by the federal (central) gov’t and gov’t of the provinces. The U.S.A also has a federal system. Britain has a unitary system. Power and authority to govern is centralized in one government.

MacLennan-Buchanan3 Monarchical head of state The Constitution divides power between a monarchical head of state and the governmental leader, the Prime Minister. Monarch is titular and symbolic. Canada has responsible government. If the ministers can’t keep the support of a majority of the members of the H of C, then the government falls. A new election is called.
