| | Quebec Cannot Develop Economically, Culturally, Socially and Politically under Canadian Federalism : These areas are still controlled, in a large part, by the financial resources of the federal government that seeks to create a concept of Canada against the desire of Quebeckers in a parliament where Quebec has a minority voice. | | | There is, therefore, a very practical reason for separating the abstract term "federalism" from the law and practice of federations: scholars in several countries are having to examine the concept of federalism as they reform the law and the practice of their federations. | | | Therefore, the study of federalism is having to be disentangled from the analysis of the U.S. Constitution and The Federalist. |

| | Following the Quebec Conference of 10th October 1864 and the consequent British North America Act of 1867, a federation was established. | | | Initially these movements were broad, uniting supporters of both integral (social) and constitutional federalism and supporters of European and world federal unions. | | | Proudhon developed federalist thought as a decentralised alternative to the centralisation of the nation state and inspired a theory of social federalism known as integral federalism which won many converts in the 1930s. |

| | Bills proposed by the the government of Quebec should respect the rule of law, the constitution of the country, the principles of federalism, and the rulings of the Canadian Supreme Court. | | | For the government of Quebec to arrogate to itself the right to decide by which treaties it will be bound is to usurp constitutional powers which it. | | | Failure to do so renders such bills null and void, a waste of paper, time, energy and thought, an insult to the parliamentary process and to the people whose interests the Quebec legislature is meant to serve. |

| | Rather, the federal government strategy to gain support for federalism in Quebec focused more on what Chrétien called "Plan B", to try to convince voters that economic and legal obstacles would follow if Quebec were to declare itself sovereign. | | | After the referendum, only limited reforms were made, such as a federal law requiring the approval of certain regions (including Quebec) to amend the constitution. | | | The 1995 Quebec referendum was the second referendum in Quebec (see 1980 Quebec referendum) that put to public vote the role of Quebec within Canada and whether Quebec should pursue a path toward independent statehood ("sovereignty"). |
