What is the structure of the Canadian provincial governments?
The provincial governments of Canada are structured as per Part V of the Constitution Act, 1867.
Lieutenant Governor and Executive CounsellorsThe Governor General of Canada appoints the Lieutenant Governor of each province, on the advice of the prime minister. The Lieutenant Governor represents Her Majesty the Queen of Canada in right of the province, and exercises Her Majesty's functions on the advice of the Executive Council. The Executive Council is comprised of the provincial head of Government (the premier) and ministers, appointed by the Lieutenant Governor based on the returns of each general election.
The Lieutenant Governor, exercising the Queen's functions on the advice of executive counsellors, is referred to as the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council, and forms the executive branch of the provincial government. As the advisors to the Crown, however, the premier and ministers hold the vast majority of decision-making authority.
Premier and MinistersOnce each general election concludes, the person who can command the support of a majority of members of the Legislative Assembly is asked by the Lieutenant Governor to become premier and to form the Government of the province. The premier then recommends the appointments of several ministers, most of whom are responsible for the management of a department or agency of the provincial government.
Legislative Assembly and Responsible GovernmentEach province has a Legislature, comprised of the Lieutenant Governor and one legislative house. For most provinces, the house is styled the Legislative Assembly (however, Québec's assembly is styled the National Assembly, and both Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador use the style House of Assembly). Members of the Legislative Assembly are elected for each of the provinces by single-member plurality.
The Legislative Assembly has a Speaker who presides over the proceedings of the Assembly. Members debate and vote on bills proposed by both Government ministers and back-bench members; however, most bills that pass are proposed by the Government (as most Governments enjoy a majority of seats). Once a bill has passed all stages of the legislative process, it must be granted royal assent by the Lieutenant Governor.
The Government of each province is responsible to its Legislative Assembly; whenever a Government is defeated on a money vote, or on a key agenda item, it is expected to either (a) resign, or (b) seek the dissolution of the Legislature for a new general election.
Arguments for a big federal government?
1. A bigger federal government is better than a bigger state governments
o Alexander Hamilton wrote
§ "Let us see what will be the consequences of not authorizing the federal government to regulate the trade of these states. Besides the want of revenue and of power; besides the immediate risk to our independence, the dangers of all the future evils of a precarious Union; besides the deficiency of a wholesome concert and provident superintendence to advance the general prosperity of trade - the direct consequence will be that the landed interest and the laboring poor will, in the first place, fall a sacrifice to the trading interest, and the whole eventually to a bad system of policy made necessary by the want of such regulating power."
§ "Each state will be afraid to impose duties on its commerce lest the other states, not doing the same, should enjoy greater advantages than itself by being able to afford native commodities cheaper abroad and foreign commodities cheaper at home."
§ "There is something noble and magnificent in the perspective of a great federal republic…"
o The states would argue
§ The more power you have, the more power you want, until we get a second civil war
§ Strong federal Government can help solve disputes among the states
o A big federal government can help to unify us
§ After civil war, the north and south still do not like each other
§ Government can act as a unifying force
o Federalists
§ The federalists, who wanted a big national government, also wanted the Constitution
§ No big federal government, no constitution
We would probably be overthrown because of our lack of unity
Which theory would a seventeenth-century European king most likely support?
Some choices would be nice for a "which" question, but in terms of political theories, most European Kings in the 1600s were absolutist and believed in the divine right of the monarchy, so ABSOLUTE MONARCHY or any derivative of that would be most supported. England, however, was already a constitutional monarchy by this point and the Kings of England knew that they would never be able to assert absolute power again, which meant that those kings would want something slightly different than absolute monarchy, but not terribly different.
