He rebelled against the Canadian Party (In which John A Macdonald led).

Louis Riel originally took over the Red River Territory, which Canada was to buy from the Hudson Bay Company. But the surveyor's were on the land before December 1 (The official transfer date). Riel escaped to the USA and came back later, to help the Metis people because of being treated poorly from Macdonald and the Canadian Party.

He was then caught, and hung in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Who said the constitution will hang by a thread?

This statement is attributed to Joseph Smith, Jr., first President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often called the "Mormon church" due to their usage of the Book of Mormon which is a history of Christians in the New World). While the statement that "the Constitution will hang by a thread" is accepted as being said by Joseph Smith (cited by Brigham Young, John Taylor, Orson Hyde and several others, see the gray box at the bottom of this page for further examples and citationshttp:/www.utlm.org/onlineresources/whitehorseprophecy.htm) It is sometimes quoted in relation to the "White Horse Prophecy" which talks about how events will transpire when the Constitution hangs by a thread. However, Bruce R. McConkie and President Joseph F. Smith have both said that the White Horse Prophecy is a fabrication.

What are the pros and cons of Louis riel?

Louis Riel is known to be either the Father of Confederation (as he brought in Manitoba aka the postage stamp province into Canada) or a "traitor." At the time, he was wanted from the rebellions that he sparked up. He was hanged from the 1885 Saskatchewan rebellion. Many of the Metis and French were horrified...Sir John A. MacDonald had said a famous quote: "He shall hang though every dog in Quebec bark in his favour." Basically saying that all the French people would be against the hanging but MacDonald would have to hang him or he'd lose votes in Ontario. Anyhow, it is still debatable whether he is a Father of Confederation or a traitor.
