Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The law creating the Confederation of Canada, also known as the British North America Act, established a federal system of government in which local affairs were the responsibility of the Canadian and provincial governments, not the federal government. The capital of Canada was established in Ottawa. The act did not address the future evolution of other colonies, nor did it lead to Canada departing from the British Empire. The prime minister was not appointed by the crown, but rather by the Canadian government.
