Answer

It was legal. Under the law during that time, a provisional government is allowed to be set up if the acting one (The Council of Assiniboia in this case) was not recognized by the people. Louis Riel and the other Métis did not recognize this government, so they set up their own provisional government.

Is Louis Riel sane or insane?

The best brief description of Louis Riel is "clever but unbalanced." Riel's sanity during the so-called Red River Rebellion (the formation of the provisional government in 1868-70) is questionable. His legal analysis of the situation which led to the formation of the provisional government, however, was quite sound. There is little doubt among historians concerning the period during which he led the North West Rebellion of 1885. Riel was then clearly not sane.


What are the key differences between a provisional and non-provisional patent application, and how do these differences impact the protection and rights of the inventor?

A provisional patent application provides temporary protection for an invention, while a non-provisional patent application is a formal application that undergoes examination. The key difference is that a provisional application does not result in a granted patent unless a non-provisional application is filed within one year. This impacts the inventor's rights as a provisional application does not provide the same level of legal protection as a granted patent.


What are the key differences between a provisional patent and a non-provisional patent, and how do these distinctions impact the overall patent application process and protection of intellectual property?

A provisional patent provides temporary protection for an invention, while a non-provisional patent offers full protection. Filing a provisional patent allows for an earlier filing date and "patent pending" status, but it must be followed by a non-provisional application within a year. Non-provisional patents undergo a more thorough examination process and provide stronger legal protection. Choosing between the two depends on the inventor's goals and timeline for patent protection.

What are the key differences between a provisional patent and a utility patent, and how do these distinctions impact the protection of intellectual property?

A provisional patent is a temporary placeholder for a utility patent, providing a filing date but no legal protection. A utility patent grants exclusive rights to an invention for up to 20 years. The key difference is that a utility patent offers legal protection, while a provisional patent does not. This impacts intellectual property protection by allowing inventors to secure their rights and prevent others from using, making, or selling their invention without permission.
