| | Canadian Confederation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Constitution of Canada is made up of a number of codified acts and uncodified traditions; one of the principal documents is the Constitution Act, 1982, which renamed the BNA Act the Constitution Act, 1867. | | | In terms of political structure, Canada is a federal state and not a confederate association of sovereign states. | | | Confederation was accomplished when Queen Victoria gave royal assent to the British North America Act (BNA Act) on March 29, 1867. |

| | With the disaster of the US Civil War in the news of the day, it is not surprising that the framers of the Canadian constitution were at pains to make clear that the main responsibility for guiding the country would lie with the federal authority. | | | Canadian immigration policy under Sifton became more open, but it remained restrictive and still reflected strong ethnic and "racial" biases. | | | The tariff was again a major issue in the election of 1896. |
