The result has been old institutional structures at odds with the republican ambitions, leaving Canada clinging to the wreckage of the old aristocratic order while attempting to provide a new order founded on republican equality. Vaughan shows how, at the time of Confederation, Edward Freeman, a Cambridge historian who convinced John A. Macdonald to experiment with what no one had ever heard of before, a "monarchic federation," and Jean-Louis DeLolme, a popular French authority on the English constitution, helped forge a new federal constitution with a strong central government and a chief executive armed with the powers necessary to govern. Vaughan examines how these principles were undermined by the judicial activism of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which paved the way for the significant expansion of judicial power under the Charter since 1982. 606 $aHISTORY / Canada / General$2bisacsh 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y1867- 607 $aCanada$xHistory$yConfederation, 1867 607 $aCanada$xHistoire$y1867 (Confe?de?ration) 607 $aCanada$xPolitique et gouvernement$y1867- 615 7$aHISTORY / Canada / General. 676 $a320.971 700 $aVaughan$b Frederick$01467679 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783794803321 996 $aThe Canadian federalist experiment$93705145 997 $aUNINA
