The King-Byng Crisis of 1926 was a pivotal moment in Canadian political history, highlighting the tensions between the Governor General's role and the autonomy of Canadian democracy. When Governor General Lord Byng refused Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King's request to dissolve Parliament and call an election, it raised questions about the limits of British authority in Canadian governance. This event ultimately led to the establishment of the convention that a Governor General should act on the advice of the elected Prime Minister, reinforcing the principle of responsible government. It also contributed to a growing sense of Canadian nationalism and the evolution of Canada's political identity.

The King-Byng Affair of 1925 was a political crisis in Canada involving Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King and Governor General Lord Byng of Vimy. After King’s minority government lost a confidence vote, he requested Byng to dissolve Parliament and call a general election, which Byng refused, believing that the Conservative leader, Arthur Meighen, should be given a chance to form a government. This refusal sparked a significant constitutional debate about the powers of the Governor General and the role of the monarchy in Canadian politics. Ultimately, King returned to power after the election, solidifying his position and leading to a reexamination of the relationship between the Governor General and Canadian political leaders.
