The Nature of Canadian Federalism (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Nature of Canadian Federalism The Canadian constitution is one of the most interesting and success ful of modern experiments in government. Its nature and essence are therefore of importance to students of politics, especially at a moment when devolution and federalism are living issues in the British Isles and in the international world. In the following pages I have attempted to discover the underlying principles of the Canadian constitution, and to illustrate them from constitutional law in such a way as to bring out the established relation ship between the central and provincial governments. Such relationship is perhaps the most fascinating aspect of non-unitary systems, for it will provide new illustrations of the conception of the state and it will suggest vital questions in connection with the nature of sovereignty.
