The idea of citizenship that originally shaped Confederation in Canada was rooted in a British colonial framework, emphasizing loyalty to the Crown and a sense of shared governance among provinces. It was primarily defined by property ownership and participation in local governance, reflecting the interests of the elite and reinforcing social hierarchies. The concept was more about civic duty and allegiance to the state rather than inclusive national identity, which evolved later in Canadian history.
